    I was on day 6 of my migraine/headache, I'd tried panadol, ibropufen, panadeine fort, tramadol, temazapan and valium (not in the same sitting) and nothing eradicated the feeling of the axe someone metaphorically left in my skull. I finally went to the doctors and was prescribed 80mg tablets. Within 30 minutes of consuming with aspirin my head was 85% better!!!! I've woken with the same pai ... Show Full Comment

    I have received absolutely no relief for my hemiplegic migraines with this medication. Very disappointing. Next step is Botox injections.

    This is the only thing that relieves a migraine for me. I've tried all kinds of lifestyle changes, but it seems I'm triggered by everything! And I've tried other drugs. I only caution that it does cause drowsiness. But, if you've got a migraine, what's a bit of drowsiness! It doesn't relieve some of the periphery symptoms to my migraines like auditory sensitivity and speaki ... Show Full Comment

It knocks out my migraines within 30 minutes. It is really important with triptans to be sure to take them at the very beginning of a migraine -- once the headache is full-blown, it won't work. I am so thankful f ... Show Full Comment

    The medication works well. I get so frustrated trying to get the pill out of the package. I was taking Azor and that package is the same way - impossible to open without a knife for something similar to poke a hole in the back of the package. If they can't put it in a bottle then at least make it easier to poke the pill out the back!!!!
