It's been a hit or miss with this medicine. I felt like I was hit by a car the day after I took the medicine. I'm sore all over and my joints ache. I too get migraines when the weather changes and I feel terrible. But this is better than nothing.

After getting quite ill taking Imitrex and finding that Excedrin Migraine didn't quite cut it, I tried this medication. I had very fast results each time I took it, with only one dose. The migraine was pretty much gone, or at least very bearable. The only side effects I experienced were fatigue and racing heartbeat. But they were tolerable compared to the migraine pain.
