Comment:
I tied all the other triptans, and all helped but only Relpax works 100% every time, though occasionally i have to take two. one commenter here incorrectly said the FDA only allows two pills per week; not true, the limit is two per 24 hours

Comment:
This is the ONLY medicine that will completely take away my migraine pain. Occasionally, it will take 2 pills to totally relieve it. Cost can be an unfortunate factor, as I've had to pay $50/per pill at times.

Comment:
I have taken this for migraines. It works most times than not. It takes it to a lower level of pain from a 10+ to a 4 or 5.
A narcotic is usually needed for the rest of the headache since drug is dangerous and not allowed to take more than two dozes per week.
