I was given Axert samples by my doctor to try and ease my migraine pain. There were NOT the answer for me. Made me violently ill and unable to even sit up in bed. That being said, my migraine dissipated but I was otherwise unable to function so I ceased taking this and am back on the hunt for something that doesn't make me sicker.

Imitrex gave me terrible heart palpitations and anxiety. I have had no discernible side effects from taking Axert and it stops the headache in its tracks. It is bordering on miraculous. Incredibly expensive, but the four times a year I take it are worth it.

I have tried many other headache medications and they all made my jaw and neck feel tight and it was extremely uncomfortable. Axert is the only migraine medication that I can take and have little to no side effects and it ALWAYS takes the migraine completely away. I wouldn't be able to function normally without it! It's truly a life saver!

I tried OTC Migraine Meds that did nothing. Then I got a Migraine that lasted for the most part of a month. My Neuro had me go thru the trial and error of 6 triptans before finding Axert was the only one that worked. It was a long painful process. She reccommended her cocktail of Axert, an anti-inflammatory and Reglan which helps with nausea. It works the first time, I have only needed a second pi ... Show Full Comment

My Neuro had me go thru the trial and error of 6 triptans before finding Axert was the only one that worked. It was a long painful process. She reccommended her cocktail of Axert, an anti-inflammatory and Reglan which helps with nausea. It works the first time, I have only needed a second pill a handful of times. It is extremely expensive with no generic. My insurance is threatening not to cover this in my new formulary. I dread having to go thru that process again. She gave me Vicodin to help in between trials but all it does is DULL the pain to a manageable level but it never goes away. I'm disabled with Multiple Sclerosis on a fixed income and fear I will not be able to afford to pay out of pocket.

So far this is the only triptan that completely works for me on my hormonal migraines. Takes care of the nausea, vomiting, everything. I have no side effects either -- I can take a dose then go about my day. Other triptans either don't clear the pain or make my heart race. The only time it doesn't fully work is when I wake up with one in the middle of the night when the migraine has alre ... Show Full Comment

I have no side effects either -- I can take a dose then go about my day. Other triptans either don't clear the pain or make my heart race. The only time it doesn't fully work is when I wake up with one in the middle of the night when the migraine has already taken hold, but even then at least it takes the pain down to a manageable level and you can take a second dose after 2 hours which usually clears it.
