Comment:
Relpax was the best migraine medicine for me, until I became "immune" to it and it was less effective and I had more rebound headaches. I didn't have any side effects, and the migraine was gone within an hour. I'm on Treximet now, and I'm going to go back to Relpax if it becomes ineffective. (the lower scores are due to it being less effective with time)

Relpax is my favorite migraine med. I'll take one and an hour later there's no more pain, and it rarely comes back. It does make me very drowsy so, if I can, I'll nap after taking one.

Comment:
this has worked very well, even when my migraine is pounding away. Usually quells the ache within 2 hours. Very rarely have to take a second one in a given day. Doesn't make me as drowsy as other meds have.

I have found this drug to be very effective, even if I don't manage to catch the migraine immediately.
