I used a generic 2.5 tablet. I got little relief from pain. The side effects are almost unbearable. Stomach pain lasts for two days after dose. My usual happy self turns to a most unusual very agitated mental state. It causes my neck and jaw to cramp so tightly it adds pain to my headache. I got much better relief on Relpax which had no bad side effects. But insurance refuses to cover the Relpax : ... Show Full Comment

I used Amerge 2.5 mg very successfully to abort migraines at the first signs of a headache. Recently i have used Heritage Pharmaceuticals generic brand and find it much less effective and worse, it causes an upset stomache which never occurred until using this brand. This product is made in India, hopefully it is tested for effectiveness and safety. Has anyone else experienced stomache issues u ... Show Full Comment

This medicine has worked wonders when I get migraines. The main side effect I get is severe drowsiness along with mental confusion (sometimes lasting 24 hrs). On days that I can, I just relax and I’ll just sleep the drowsiness off. But on days that I can’t, it is good to have something that relieves the pain so I can at least be functional… (confused and drowsy, but functional just the same)

I have been using Amerge for several years. It works well for me and I don't have the cloudy-fuzzy feeling in my head or drowsiness with it. I have just recently been given the generic Naratriptan, I do not feel this works as effective ss the Amerge. I am very dissatisfied with the Naratriptan. I am going to check into receiving Amerge again.....

Comment:
I suffer monthly (hormonally related) migraines and take one tablet when I feel a migraine about to take shape. Within half an hour the feeling of nausia and the sickly unwell feeling that is my sign of possible migraine has disappeared, but I do still need to rest my body and sleep always helps for a more speedy recovery. This drug has worked wonders, as previously I could have been out of action ... Show Full Comment
