| 5 | Migraines | Tired | I have had migraines since I was a young teenagers. I missed many days of work and school and first tried Imitrex which didn't work. I am so thankful for Amerge as I have been successful with it. I live in Canada and for 6 pills it is about $100 which is expensive but thankfully I have coverage and don't have to pay. Although, even if I did, I would because it's worth it being able to function and lead a normal life. I don't know what I would do if this stopped working. | F | 30 | 3 years | 3/31/2007 | 5 | Migraines | Cold and tired - but that could be migraine side effects too. | Sometimes it takes awhile to work, and sometimes I need to take a second one 4 hours later, but it usually works very well for migraines. Imitrex never worked for me. | F | 50 | 7 years | 2/27/2007 | 5 | Migraine | None | Have been a migraine sufferer for seven years and was never prescribed anything until Amerge. It eliminated the headache within an hour and gives me back my life! I don't know about other medications, but this one helps me tremendously. | F | 21 | 2 weeks | 1/18/2007 | 5 | migraine | Thank God for Amerge. Sometimes I get a little spacey or cold extremities, but I can get my kids to school and myself to work. I routinely take it two to three times a month. | F | 45 | 3 years | 9/25/2006 | 5 | migraines | I feel tired for the next few hours after taking one tablet | I had tried many different drugs prior to Amerge without success. Amerge actually stops my migraines within 1 hour - I am ever so grateful and go nowhere without Amerge. | F | 44 | 3 years | 9/19/2006 | 5 | Migraines | Some times feel a little spacey, but not drowsy | I have had migraines for over 20 years and Amerge is a god send. It works for me EVERY time that I take it, unlike Imitrex, which I took in the 1990s. I have almost no side effects with Amerge. I can't say enough about how it has positively impacted my life. | F | 46 | 7 years | 7/28/2006 | 4 | migraine | none | only lasts 24-30 hours | F | 40 | 7 months | 7/17/2006 | 5 | for migraine | by itself I was fine maybe a little tired, when I take it with my Neurontin I feel dizzy and more tired... | I think it works better for menstrual migraines than regular even though I still use it for regular migraine. It also seems to last longer than most meds I've tried (about 26 hours) | F | 40 | 6 months | 5/25/2006 | 5 | Very | None | Been a migrane sufferer all my life. Amerge is the best of the triphans. Best of all, does not appear to cause rebound headache. Also, is long-lasting: 24-30 hours. | M | 58 | 2 years | 5/17/2006 | 3 | Tension Migraine | length of time correction | length of time correction | 45 | 8 months | 11/19/2005 | 3 | Tension Migraine | Hypersensitivity to hot liquids and a little bit of muscle weakness | It takes too long for me before I get any relief form the migraine. Like yestarday it took one around 10:00 p.m. and did not get any relief. I took the second dose at 3:30 a.m. and did not get relief until 10:00 a.m. | M | 45 | 8 days | 11/19/2005 | 4 | migraine pain | | 11/8/2005 | 5 | Migraine | Some loss of energy, but I have had that problem with all other meds I've tried. Bottom line I can function tired, I can't do anything but writhe in pain when my migraine hits. | I've tried Malalt, Immatrex and one other, but nothing has worked as well Amerge or as long. Only wish it came in an other form, pills don't always stay down when I have a migraine. | M | 36 | 2 months | 3/20/2005 | 5 | Migraine Prevention | Cold extremities (hands/feet) on occasion. The drug appears to slow me down, which helps the medicine overtake the migraine. | Take at first signs of migraine pain, and give it a chance to kick-in (slow down!). Waiting too long to address your pain will cause the drug to be ineffective. I've suffered from migraines for 22 years, and this drug is a miracle drug for me. I don't leave home without it! | F | 52 | 3 years | 3/13/2005 | 5 | Migrane Headaches | The only side effect I have noticed is feeling tired. I'll take that over a headache any day. The first few times I took it, I feel asleep, but woke up feeling great and headache free. | I am greatful for the Amerge. I've never taken any other prescription medicine for headaches, but this one works for me. Prior to Amerge, I just suffered. Now I can function normally again. | M | 42 | 14 months | 2/2/2005 | 5 | chronic migraines | I was taking Imitrex shots and pills prior to the Amerge tablets for the last year and they did not always end the h/a pain. I also had the nasty Imitrex side effect of a worsening h/a for 15 minutes after injection before I received any relief. It was always so nerve racking. I have been taking the Amerge (almost daily) for a week now and have had no side effects to speak of (maybe a little drowsy). Also, in one instance it only took one pill to get rid of a h/a I almost went to the E.R. with. The Amerge also takes a little longer to work; 1.5 to 2 hrs for last headache but the h/a slowly vanished. I am thrilled so far and no more shots! | F | 34 | 1 weeks | 1/12/2005 | 4 | Migraines | Some | My headaches are slow in developing so the amerge works very well sort of stopping it before it really happens. I like the duration of effectiveness. Tried Zomig first. Loved it but not in pharmacy formulary of my health plan. Tried Maxalt MLT didn't like it at all. | F | 55 | 4 years | 12/27/2004 | 1 | I thought I had a migraine | Loss of feeling on left side | Do not take if you have the worst headache of your life | F | 49 | 1 days | 3/15/2004 | 1 | migraines | it just didn't work...when it finally seemed to kick in, it made the migraine even worse. I've used other triptans & all worked better than Amerge. | Tried it twice. Same results both times. | F | 49 | | 9/21/2003 | 5 | migrane headaches | It does make me tired, but if I have to stay awake to do my job or care for my child, it is possible. | F | 27 | 2 years | 1/20/2003 |
