User Reviews for sumatriptan oral

I have had migraines for years, usually just one or two a month, but they were terrible. My doctor prescribed me Imitrex and it wipes out the migraine IF I take it soon enough. Always carry these with you! When Imitrex went to generic form I was so relieved, but with the generic I have noticed I get dizzy sensations after taking it for about the next 12 hours. Not too bad, and it's much better than the migraine, so I still think it's a miracle!

I have had excruciating headaches since I was a teenager, but they were not diagnosed as migraines until I was in my 40's. Once I was prescribed the Imitrex I feel like a totally different person. If the pain is caught at the onset, the headache will usually go away before it gets severe. It is very rare that I will need to take more than one tablet to get rid of the pain. This has been a true life-saver for me. Before I had Sumatriptan (Imitrex), I was down for 2-3 days and could not function AT ALL. I missed work, and a lot of life due to the pain. As I get older the headaches are less frequent, and so I do believe that my headaches are triggered by my hormones. I keep hoping that before too long I won't have the headaches at all. For those who suffer from the dreaded migraine, I honestly believe that there IS hope. Read More Read Less

Best cure for my migraines, makes me drowsy and sleep for about 2 hours and when i wake up the migraine has vanished. it is a life saver!

i did not touch my migrain at all or help my nausea. about an hour later my head felt much less painful but then it just exploded back.

For me this medicine is a miracle. It takes about an hour for it to set in, but after that it's as if I had never had a migraine in my life. The only side effects are a slight tingling sensation which causes me to sneeze. Though, I'd take that side effect over a migraine any day.

Have been dealing with migraines for about 10 years. 50 mg's works every time. The only downside is that it makes me tired and I need to sleep for about one and a half hours. When I wake up, I'm totally pain free.

I just took my first pill ever about 4 hours fell asleep and just woke up. Headache is about half gone but I can feel it coming back so I just took another one. When I woke up from the nap my legs felt really tired and my hands where clenched into fists and it was kinda painful to get them to unlock. We will see what happens after this second dose.

I have been suffering for over 41 years with migraines, and this is the only thing that works for me. I do have several side effects: tightness in throat, tingling in face, muscle soreness, which occurs when the drug is kicking in and it only lasts no longer than 5 minutes then the headache is gone.

I began taking this medication to treat migraines and bad headaches. No over the counter medication has ever worked for me so it has been amazing to find something that can give me relief after years of suffering! If I take 100mg at onset, I have a 90% success rate. I often feel tired and get a bit of a sore throat but it beats the agnony of a migraine. I love Relpax and find that it works even better for me, but this is much more affordable, although still quite expensive.

The only side effect I have had has been strong leg and arm fatigue the next day after taking Sumatriptan. The headache has been wiped out within 1 hour after taking medication.

This works for me but when I take it I have a problem with the effects. I don't get the migraine but my vision is still darkened and I feel like a weight is being placed on top of me and I get tired. But no headache

This works well at taking the migraine away for me. But my tongue was swollen and my neck hurt pretty bad for about five hours. If you have migraines you know anything is worth a shot but I won't take it again. It was just to scary for me.

I have been on several medications for my migraines and so far this one does help. Best to take it at the onset, just takes longer if you wait. I have figured out that I have virtually no side effects if I take it on a full stomach.

It was my first time using the medication. I've been using it for a month now. It was the only thing that work for me. Have tried other ones with no results. Finally found the right one that works for me.

I take a 100mg. tablet along with one Aleve. Works for me every time. Also, it has to be Dr. Reddy's brand. Anything else doesn't work. Too bad my insurance hardly covers it.

It takes too long to work and it makes my throat sore, but at least it takes the edge off the pain.

I have used this medicine for a long time and it is the only thing that i have found that, if taken at the onset of a migraine, it will relieve it within 20-30 minutes 95% of the time. I originally was using the self injected method and I am very happy with the oral med. Prior to using this med I could be down and out sometimes for several days, vomiting and seeking a dark quiet spot in the back of our clothes closet. This med is a miracle for me. I only wish it also helped everyone with migraines. Read More Read Less

nausea,hot flash,eyes dialted, not really taking the head away

Take 50 mg and works great. Makes me a little achy but it's worth it. Have to watch for rebound though if you have frequent headaches.

It hardly works and has an instant nasty after taste that stays for too long
