Comment:
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!
