More on ZOMIG: Reviews Summary | Drug Safety Information
| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR ZOMIG | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | Migraine | My head got really tingly then it became very sore to the touch, even moving my hair hurt my head, then it got tingly again. I just felt weird. | I had a sample of the disolving tablet, lowest dose. My Migraines have lasted from 4 hours to 16. This particular migraine lasted six hours so I'm not sure if the zomig helped or if the migraine was only a 6 hour one to begin with. The side effects were scary and not worth trying it again to see if it would shorten all migraines. | F | 28 | 1 times | 3/17/2006 | 5 | Monthly migraines | Achiness - general joint achiness and the feeling of little needles/prickly feeling on my skin from the shower. Sensitivity to hot liquids. Slight tightening of the throat. | In general, I have found this to be the wonder drug. While the side effects occcur every time, I have often said I can take pain anywhere other than my head! | F | 50 | 5 years | 3/8/2006 | 4 | migraine | frequent urination, dry mouth, tighteness and pain in throat. I had no side effects until 2.5 yrs. Side effects get worse with often usage. | but definitly zomig makes migraine go away in 30-45min. The sooner I take, early it works. | 5 years | 3/8/2006 | 5 | lots of sex | F | 18 | 3 years | 1/4/2006 | 5 | Frequent migraines | drowsiness, sometimes tightness in chest/shoulders | I get really bad migraines (last for 2+ days, with vomiting, etc.) but zomig is AMAZING. It works within 30-60 minutes, whenever I take it (whether it's towards the beginning or middle of the migraine); the migraine is completely gone. Sometimes the side effects are annoying because I get so tired that I feel like I'm going to collapse, but it's nothing compared to the pain of the migraine. | F | 22 | 2 years | 12/24/2005 | 4 | Tension migraine | Nausea, hypersensitivity to hot liquids, muscle weakness and drowsiness. | I liked it because the route was sublingual but later it could not give me immidiate relief. I guess I was developing resistance to it. | M | 45 | 3 years | 11/19/2005 | 4 | Migraines | Sneezing, sinus problems. | It completely get's rid of the pain, but I'm worried about weight gain while staying on the medication. | F | 26 | 1 years | 11/1/2005 | 5 | Migraine Headaches | Sore throat (sometimes), weakness in my arms, sleepy feeling | This is the best migraine medicine I have ever had. Wish they'd of had this when I was a kid, my headaches were really bad (vomiting, alot). The side effects are nothing compared to the headache. I tried Immitrex once, it did nothing (for me). Zomig works in about 20-30mins for me. The sooner I take it the faster it works. My headache is usually completely gone with one dose and doesn't come back. | M | 35 | 1 years | 10/20/2005 | 4 | Migraines | Sensitivity to hot water and hot drinks, sore joints and muscles. | Zomig gets rid of my migraines, but the I do have a lot of soreness after a few hours. | F | 40 | 2 years | 10/11/2005 | 4 | Migraines | Sensitivity to hot water and hot drinks, sore joints and muscles. | Zomig gets rid of my migraines, but I do have a lot of soreness after a few hours. | F | 40 | 2 years | 10/11/2005 | 5 | Migraines | Sleepiness, and definite muscle weakness which last over 24 hours | I really hate the sleepiness and feeling like I'm made of spaghetti but hey it knocks my headache OUT! My neurologysts switched from Imitrex to Zomig and I can say that despite the side effects I feel like I can actually live my life a little better :) | F | 32 | 1 months | 10/6/2005 | 5 | Migraine | jaw tightening, a little bit "wrung out" the next day | Zomig doesn't work as well as Maxalt, but it does work LONGER, so if I have an on-going migraine trigger (like being in an airplane) then it is the best choice. I was never able to fly internationally before, now I can. The only problem is that I quickly build up a tolerance, so I can only take it about once a month or else it doesn't work at all. | F | 44 | 5 years | 9/25/2005 | 4 | Migraines | Tightness in the neck, Sleepy, light headness, arms heavy, trouble concentrating, If I move my head quickly side to side (like glancing at the monitor and then down to the keyboard :) I get dizzy almost vertigo. Some tighness in the lower back - hot and cold flashes. The side effects are not as bad as the migraine but are getting worse the longer I take Zomig. | Generally works within about 30-45 mins to abort the migraine, but the side effects seem to last for almost 24 hours. | M | 39 | 5 years | 8/25/2005 | 5 | Migraines | Fatigue, frequent urination, definite jaw/mouth sensitivity for an hour or two after taking dissolvable pill. Other times it may cause muscle aches/soreness the next day - and if I take it before bed or in the middle of the night, it can give me some very strange dreams. The thing about the side effects is that sometimes I'll take the Zomig and I'll have very minimal/barely noticable side effects ... and other times I'll take it and get hit with a strong fatigue/sensitive throat/malaise that just makes me want to sleep all day. The stronger side effects don't happen as often as the more minimal side effect times. | Zomig ZMT (dissolvable pill) works the best for me out of any of the triptans. It has truly been a lifesaver. It does come with side effects, but I would take ANY of them over a migraine, no questions asked! I hate the taste of the dissolvable pill - which can be difficult to ingest when you're already nauseous. However, the ZMT version works better for me than the regular pill. I feel relief within an hour. I drink a lot of water or else I can get constipated while taking Zomig. If I have a very severe migraine, I'll try to take it easy/be mellow while the Zomig goes to work. I've woken up in the middle of the night before with a severe, side-splitting migraine at its height - taken a Zomig, managed to get back to sleep, and woken up completely pain free. | F | 22 | 5 years | 8/18/2005 | 4 | migraine | Breast pain, stomach ulcer, nausea, depression, general icky feeling, severe rebound headache cycles on the rapimelt version (took for 3 years--final 6 months gave more side effects). Switched to the regular tablet and have had no side effects so far (3 months). | The regular tablet version works very well for me. The migraine goes away within 1 hour, and no rebounds! | F | 36 | 3 years | 7/21/2005 | 4 | menstural migraines | Senstivity in the jaw area esp to drinks and foods. Extremely drowsy and body feels heavy after I take Zomig. I think that my sexual desire has decreased because of it--I am not 100% sure; but taking Zomig is the only thing that has changed in my lifestyle. | Zomig defintely works, for me, within 30 minutes. However, I experience alot more side effects with Zomig than I did with Imitrex. My Docotor recently prescribed Zomig because my new pharmacy didn't carry Imitrex. | F | 29 | 4 months | 7/16/2005 | 5 | migraines | Just a skin and tongue sensitivity to hot water and hot drinks | F | 52 | 2 days | 6/23/2005 | 4 | Migraines | Groggy hangover plus shoulder and hip muscles ache for hours after taking it. | Wonderful relief for headache as long as I can take it in time. 99% of my headaches start while I am asleep at night and I awake with the pain. If the nausea has not started, the Zomig knocks the headache out in 30 minutes. | F | 57 | 3 years | 6/9/2005 | 4 | Chronic migraines | Slight dizziness, slurred speech, burning sensation in the face. | Zomig helps my migraines a lot- usually the pain has almost completely disappeared in about 20-45 minutes. The side effects I notice aren't very bad. Slight dizziness that comes and goes over the course of about 2 hours after taking the drug, and for about a half hour, my speech is somewhat slowed down and slurred (which doesn't really bother me personally, and it goes away.) The only side effect that concerned me was a tingling, burning sensation on the skin of my face, almost like a sunburn, which lasts quite a while. But overall, I'd say the results are worth putting up with the side effects. | F | 19 | 4 months | 5/21/2005 | 1 | ocular migraines | I have only taken this medication once. I was out with my friends and got a migraine so I took it and I immedately passed out. My friends tell me that I would twitch, whine, and clutch my head when I was asleep. When I finally woke up my face was extremely teneder and tight, my jaw didn't really work, and my thoat was completely sore. It felt like I was being choked. I didn't remember anything for about two hours before I passed out either. It was a really scarry expeirience | I have never read about anything like this happening to anybody else before, but it really scared me. | F | 17 | 1 days | 4/23/2005 |
