Have used Frova for several years with great success...it takes longer to "kick in" but also relieves migraine pain for 24 hours. Rarely do I need to take a 2nd one.

The one that works for me quickly and I take it just as I recognize a migraine coming on. I have used this drug for many years. Rarely have had to take a second one. Side effects are not noticeable or minimally so. It is expensive, but worth the relief and the ability to carry on with normal days and no migraine.

This has been the last straw for me among many that I have tried. I very rarely have to take a 2nd dose in a 24hr period. As with other posts it is expensive, my insurance co does cover it but I have to pay $60 for 12 pills and I go through them like they are M&M's.

I find if I take Frova when I start to feel my migraine coming on that it works for me sooner but I find if I don't then Frova takes a lot longer to ease my migraines. So far Frova helps me the best however I wish it didn't cost so much to use!

didn't do a thing for my migraines, only thing that works at all is Imitrex...I might as well have taken a sugar pill than the Frova...very disappointing
