    I’ve been getting debilitating migraines for some tome with nothing working as relief Started this medicine about a week ago and my headache disappears within a half hour Medicine makes me feel a little tired and causes a burning sensation in my nose Mild upset stomach and loss of appetite the following day All these side effects are worth it to me!

    While this medication both at 1/2 and a full pill work very well on the headache it makes me dizzy and I pee all night, usually at least 4 times. That's not good. So I try not to take it because of that.

    I have been taking Sumatriptan for over 30 years and it has saved my life. I get migraines so bad I feel I am at death's door, and this medication stops them cold in 30 minutes.
