    I have migraine headaches-if I take one when it starts (double vision) & lie down it will help. It also helps me to finish out my day because it is the only drug that has helped the most with the pain after the dizziness, blurred side vision & nausea subside. I have tried the new scripts to prevent migraines they do not work for me, infact they creat a headache also, just not the migraine ... Show Full Comment
