| 5 | migraine | Zomig is a life saver for me. I suffer from menstrual migraines and zomig is the only thing that helps me. The only side affect I usually have is sensitivity to touch. | F | 47 | 6 years 2.5mg | 5/25/2012 | 5 | Migraine | In my case, Its the only medication that can stop the pain (in an hour or less). The side effects longs just for 15 to 20 minutes then they dissappear and the pain dissappears too. I can work and do the things i have to do. Ihave use other medications but i'll never change zomig for other medications. Not all headaches are migraine so zomig its not for everyone. | F | 42 | 3 years 5 mg | 5/14/2012 | 3 | Migraine | I will nevER take again. Immediately my body began feeling hot and I felt queasy and an hour later my jaw was entirely numb and heavy and my throat felt tight and hard to swallow. I found the throbbing went away but was replaced by a firey headache. Almost went to the ER it was so scary I suggest Trying a Different migraine treatment before zomig | F | 18 | 1 days 5mg | 5/12/2012 | 4 | Migraine | Made me feel kind of high and sleepy but the migraine went away very quickly | F | 49 | 1 days 5 | 4/26/2012 | 5 | severe migraine | i took the tablet form not the melt in the mouth but 15h later i still have a horrible metallic taste in my mouth. | M | 52 | 1 days 2.5mg 1X day | 2/24/2012 | 4 | Migraine | Nausea, sour acidic taste feel running down the back of throat, burning/numbing sensation in jaw, bounding pulse. | Even with all these horrible side effect, it works quickly to remove the throbbing. The spray version starts to help me within 30 min. whereas the tablet took up to two hours to offer relief. I try to use other medicines. If they don't work, this is the only foolproof way to get rid of the pain. | F | 43 | 5 years 1X AN | 2/22/2012 | 5 | migraine | some body aches, slight heaviness in legs | suffered many years with dibilitating migrains, untill zomig, it works like a charm in 2 hrs, I am back to my normal activities. It takes away the nauea, vomiting light sensitivity, and head pain. With little to no side effects | F | 56 | 2 years 2.5 1X day | 11/19/2011 | 5 | Acute frequent migraines | Occasional dizziness | This medication has been a life saver for me! I have had acute migraines for 33 years, I could be down and out for several days, vomiting, nausea, intense pain. Suffering approximately 12 -15 attacks per month. When I take Zomig, the migraine is gone within 30 minutes and I usually only need to take one 2.5mg pill. It's fantastic, I don't need water to swallow it, so it can be taken anytime anywhere. I no longer need to take codeine products which only slightly minimized the severity and no more gravol to keep down the nausea. I had tried imitrex, which gave me severe stomach cramps, which also kept me out of commission (hard to say which was worse, the cramps or the migraine). Zomig has given me the freedom to make plans and keep them. I have an active life again and only wish this had been available years ago. | F | 45 | 10 months 2.5 1X day | 10/21/2011 | 5 | Migraines, 1-2 a month | Sore joints, sensitivity in extremities and skin, cold nose, over-stimulated salivary glands, sore scalp, and feelings of drowsiness that eventually pass. | I started getting migraines about 10 years ago when my kids were toddlers. The migraines usually occur during my period every month, sometimes twice, and usually with 1 or 2 days of bounce backs. I was originally prescribed Imitrex (nasal, 20mg), and the side effects were so painful, I would cry trying to decide which was worse -- the migraine or the cure. I was switched to Zomig, which was an immediate relief. I usually will take 1/2 5mg pill at onset and if I can sleep for a little while, am all set. If I don't catch it on time, I have to take a whole pill. Zomig truly did give me days and days of my life back, and I'm grateful. The last year, though, I am finding that I have an alarming loss of memory; I can't remember something I did, or where I was heading, or who I was with... It is scaring me enough that I think I will give up the pill entirely (the only medication I take) and treat any migraines with OTC meds and sleep. | F | 42 | 4 years 5MG 1X day | 10/6/2011 | 5 | Migraines | When I first stared taking it made me sleepy and I had joint ache. I now take no more than a half a pill and it does the trick and I can still function. | I love this drug. | F | 56 | 4 years 5mg 1X AN | 10/3/2011 | 1 | Migraine | Dizziness, temporary loss of vision, difficulty breathing. | My doctor gave Zomig to me when I was 14 to try, after I had been having migraines for two months straight.I took Zomig once and the side effects made me unwilling to take it again. My throat started to constrict and my vision went black I was exceedingly dizzy and tired and was unable to breathe properly. As bad as the migraines are, and I still get them frequently, I am not willing to subject myself to the side effects of Zomig. | F | 17 | 1 days 5MG 1X day | 9/17/2011 | 4 | Migraines | Achey joints, especially feet. Occasional vomiting about 20 minutes after taking pill. | Usually works well - I split the 5 mg. in half if I feel I have a migraine coming on; take the whole pill if I have a full blown migraine. Works well. | F | 48 | 1 years 5 mg 1X AN | 9/12/2011 | 5 | Severe migraines - 4 a month | It takes about an hour if taken at first awareness that a migraine has taken hold ( up to 3 hours if I am awakened by a migraine ) for the migraine to be fully relieved, but then it is TRULY a miracle drug! My side effects are minimal, a little tightness in the neck / throat and some yawning, slight tiredness. It relieves EVERYTHING - headache pain, light sensitivity, aura, sound sensitivity and nausea! Such a blessing! | I am having more and more difficulty getting a prescription for this from my family doctor. Insurance now only covers "4 headaches a month" and of course you have to keep your cholesterol low to be allowed to continue with the prescription but this medicine has kept me functional and happy for the last 11 years. Such a blessing! My headaches are primarily hormone related and over the last year, with menopause almost completely behind me, I am starting to get get fewer migraines - dropping from 4 or more a month down to 2 or 3. | F | 53 | 11 years 5 MG 1X day | 9/5/2011 | 5 | chronic migriane | occasionally have to urinate quite a lot. other than that no real side affects | Without this drug I would have a very low quality of life. I started having migraines 16 years ago OTC drugs did not touch the pain.I had either a full blown migraine which would put me in bed and fully out of action for up to three days. Severe head and neck pain vomiting, dark quiet room etc. Or I would just have a dull ache for days which made concentrating difficult. Thankfully my doctor prescribed triptan meds. If I take a Zomig early in the attack the pain is usually gone within two hours or less. I have up to 4 migraine headaches a week and they will just appear from nowhere so I take the Zomig rapimelt. I usually break the tablet in half and this is enough. | F | 52 | 11 years 2.5 4X W | 9/4/2011 | 5 | for migraine headaches | The only side effect I experience is a little dizziness. | Zomig has literally given me back my life. I suffered 1-2 day long headaches and in between headaches I worried about the next one. Zoming has NEVER not worked for me. It takes anywhere from 1-2 hours to work. I can get up and do whatever I need to do after that. Zomig is a life saver for me. | F | 58 | 5mg 6X M | 8/11/2011 | 5 | severe headaches | None | In about two hours headaches started to go away. A few days later another headache. I took the 5mg Zomig that disolves in the mouth...heache gone in about 2.5 hours. Absolutely no side effects. It has worked great for me. | M | 60 | 2 weeks 5mg 1X AN | 7/11/2011 | 4 | Migraines | slurred speech,on-edge, week, irritable, dizzy, and extreem sour taste on my tounge , especailly when I tried to eat. | Zomig does work...If you are able to take the pill as soon as you detect the symptoms of a migraine, BUT you have to take it the moment you detect youre having a migraine. I usually see spots, have trouble speaking, words come out backwords and my fingers tingle or go numb and its always one side, left or right. | M | 37 | 2 years 5mg 1X AN | 6/20/2011 | 5 | cluster migraines | Throat feels swollen and scratchy (for 8 hrs), can taste the nasal spray zomeg for about an hour after taking(yuck), feel bruised, like I've been beaten with a baseball bat (muscle pain/soreness/stiffness lasts for abt 8 hrs.). | The zomig nasal is my savior. I'd used imitrex for years but it made me so sleepy(and I had such nausea that I couldn't keep it down). I've recently tried Sumatriptan Needle Free DosePro Injector. It made my migraine worse for the first hour (a lot worse-vomiting, aura, sensitivity to light/temp., etc.) Although I feel beaten up after taking zomig, I feel better than suffering through migraine. | F | 54 | 10 years nasal 1X day | 5/13/2011 | 5 | chronic migraine | None, until this last week. Needed immed. attention at hospital - shortness of breath, sensation of tingling over body,heaviness of pressure - all at 2:00 a.m. | It has worked excellent for me, stopped migraines but was diagnosed with 2 types; having to take so many to stop migraines eventually caused the listed effects; hooked up to monitor in hosp. for 8 hrs., heart rate went to 38; am having stress test and returning to neurologist - affected nervous system. Not drug's fault, doctors just kept giving it, telling me to take it as it worked. Have stopped it completely. | F | 62 | 9 years 2.5 1X day | 5/2/2011 | 4 | hormonal Migraines | Severe muscle soreness, I feel like a bus ran me over and backed up to make sure I was dead. Severe sensitivity to hot/cold. To the point that I have a hard time just drinking a glass of room temp water. It is either scalding or freezing. | I have suffered from migraines since I was 8 and this is the first drug that has ever helped. I can take it and still work. I ache, but I can hold my head up and get through the day. I have to go to bed as soon as I get home, but am able to continue my normal routine. | F | 38 | 5 years 5mg 6X M | 3/21/2011 |
