I’ve had what I call hormonal headaches for most of my life so has my mother.. it’s a migraine that comes around that time of the month but now I’m 50 and I’m getting migraines all the time. This medicine has helped me tremendously.

Best thing I’ve used for my migraines. It doesn’t take away all of the pain but it reduces it from an 11 to a 1 on a scale from 1-10. I also get super drowsy sometimes when I take it but it’s worth it

i have had terrible migraines for most my life and i started this medication about two years ago and every single time it has taken away my migraine within 15 minutes, the only thing is the pain in my neck and throat, sensitivity to heat, the weakness and tiredness. but the side effects are way better than having a migraine !

Within 15 minutes this gets rid of my migraine every single time, I only take it for really bad migraines because the side effects are rough. I get really sore muscles, sore throat, and feeling of weakness. The side effects are better to have than a migraine, though.
