| 5 | Migraines | None | Amazing- I have finally found a drug that completely relieves my headaches with no side effects. | F | 47 | 3 months | 12/18/2006 | 1 | frEQUENT SEVERE CLASSIC MIGRAINES | ZOMIG NASAL 5 seemed to reduce pain if taken the moment a migraine sympton appeared taken in conjunction with topiramate but I felt positively unwell, all over weakness and aching with definate need to lie down for 4/5 hoursin bed but usual severe migraine nausea vomiting and acute head pain was greatly diminished.The general ill feeling would dwell till next day then within the next 24 hours a rebound migraine would occur .Migraine pain was reduced but after 4 weeks that and the topiramate stopped working all together) | several years ago I used to zomig in tablet form (over a 12 month period) as well as causing rebound migraines/headaches I also developed tinnatus which ceased when I stopped taking it. | F | 53 | 35 days | 12/18/2006 | 4 | Frequent migraines | Sore joints, dry mouth | It's great! It almost always helps! | F | 23 | 7 years | 12/13/2006 | 5 | migraines | sore throat, achey joints, ultra sensitive to hot water feels like it is burning my skin | Even with the side effects this medicine was a gift from God! I used to suffer for days with my migraines, this medicine works within 20-60 minutes. The earlier I take it with the onset of a migraine the better. I always have it with me. The only down side is the price, but it is worth it. The possible side effects scare me, but the relief from the pain is GREAT. | F | 47 | 2 years | 11/16/2006 | 5 | frequent migraines | No side effects | Zomig rids headache quickly. I use one ultracet for pain with it and it works perfectly and never needs repeating until the next headache. | F | 56 | 4 years | 11/5/2006 | 1 | Migraines | This medication made my throat tighten up like I was being choked! It was scary. My entire body hurt about an hour after taking it and continued to hurt for six hours. It also made me very sleepy. I guess this isn't the medication for me. I'm glad to hear it works for some people. I guess I need to keep looking. | F | 39 | 1 days | 10/7/2006 | 4 | migraine | NONE | IT TAKES A FEW MIN. SOMETIMES AN HOUR OR TWO TO GET RID OF PAIN. | F | 37 | 6 months | 9/28/2006 | 2 | occular migraines | After using the zomig nasal for two years the nasal lining became very irritated and according to my ENT has broken several nasal blood vessels which has caused me to have constant drainage at the back of my throat and a persitent cough with an after taste of old blood. The medicine did work, but I can no longer tolerate the constant feeling of having a cold. I am now taking relpax which seems to work just fine. | F | 56 | 2 years | 9/19/2006 | 5 | chronic migraine | Increased pain for about 10 minutes right before the drug takes effect. I don't like the taste of the ZMT but it works much faster than the other one. No other side effects. | I have taken imitrex, amerge, and now zomig and zomig is the ONLY one with no side effects. I get migraines 3 out of every 4 days and I wake up with them. Usually, 1.25mg will get rid of them completely within 1 hour. If not I keep taking 1.25mg until it's gone. | F | 49 | 10 years | 9/7/2006 | 3 | Migraines | Dry skin and mouth | Addicted to it, no matter what Astra says about it being non addictive...Please help... | M | 34 | 7 years | 8/14/2006 | 3 | Migraine | tightness in chest and throat..sore throat..sensitivity to heat and cold..tingling feeling in extremities and scalp...sleepiness..exhausted for many hours after taking Zomig | Zomig works, bit the side effects were extreme and very annoying. Doc switched me to Relpax which works just as well, but minimizes the weird side effects that I was experiencing on Zomig. | F | 38 | | 7/15/2006 | 1 | migraines | My brother-in-law has been taking zomig for about two years. He just suffered a stroke. He is a very healthy man, no high blood pressure, no heart problems, no weight problems, no high cholesterol problems. He's 57 years old. Has anybody heard of zomig causing a stroke? Please respond. [email protected] | M | 57 | 120 days | 7/11/2006 | 1 | frequent migraines | All over muscle aches, it seemed like every muscle in my body hurt. You could not touch me too hard w/out it hurting | Didn't really seem to help the migraine | F | 45 | 1 days | 7/10/2006 | 5 | Migraines | Breast soreness, muscle and joint aches. Slight anxiety/panic attack. Jaw tightness. | F | 25 | 1 years | 6/26/2006 | 2 | Migraine Headaches | Tightness in chest and throat - felt like my throat was closing up. SEVERE Sinus reaction - sinues completely filled up with clear drainage, runny stuffy nose like a severe cold for 2 - 3 hours. Nausea, confusion. Very unpleasnt feeling all over - thought I was having a major allergic reaction. | Did not really help the headache. The migraine did not get worse (I took within 30 minutes of feeling symptoms - my migraines usually are mild for 45 minutes - 1 hour before getting severe). The headache never got severe but the mild pain lasted 7 hours after taking the pill. I will search for another medicine. | F | 34 | 1 days | 5/24/2006 | 5 | Migraine Headaches | Mild dizziness/drowsiness for a few hours after taking the medication. | Zomig is fast and effective for stopping my headaches before they get out of control. I would prefer to take the Zomig-ZMT, but it contains aspartame which makes my headaches worse. If they replaced it with Splenda, it would be perfect. | M | 33 | 2 months | 5/21/2006 | 5 | Migraines | Difficulty driving first time I took it (5 mg); neck pain first few times I tried it, now just minor facial pain within first 30 mins of taking it, as the migraine is going away (but I'm so glad it means it's working that I don't mind!); sensitivity to warm water (feels hot); frequent urination | This medicine is great. It gets rid of my migraines within 1-2 hours with no sleepiness. I can just continue my regular activities, whereas with each migraine I'd sleep about 14 hours straight trying to get rid of it. The weird thing is that one doctor insisted I have sinus headaches because the pain of my migraines is often alongside my nose and can be accompanied by stuffiness. But once I take the Zomig, the pain and stuffiness disappear within 2 hours. These are definitely migraines, because migraine meds work for me! Wish I would have started years ago instead of struggling through my days as a preschool teacher and mom. Jesus, I love You and thanks for this medication!!!!!! | F | 40 | 15 months | 5/5/2006 | 5 | frequent migraines | none to speak of | This is the only triptan that consistently works for me. I take 1/2 of a 5 mg tablet and in an hour or so my headache is gone. This drug has given me back my life!! | F | 58 | 4 years | 4/17/2006 | 5 | ocular migranes | very few...the good outweighs the bad. | Have been taking zomig 10mg nasal for 2yrs. Have had migranes for 5 years. Started out about 1 every 2 months or so then about the past year began having about 3 per week until my doctor put me on topamax. Now I seem to have my ocular migranes less frequently (have only had 3 in 6 weeks...what a relief!) and where before I would have to take 2 of the nasal zomigs to get rid of the migrane I now only require one. I hope the topamax continues its success. I already know how well the zomig works. | F | 55 | 2 years | 4/10/2006 | 5 | Migraines | Tightness/muscle soreness in the neck, upper shoulders and through the chest; sneezing; increased urination; tightness in throat; slightly drowsy with increased desire to take a nap about an hour after taking it. | My wonder drug. I've gotten menstrual related migraines since age 14 and Zomig is the first medication that has helped. I've been on it for just about as long as it's been on the market. I've on occasion forgotten to get my prescription filled in time and had to endure a migraine without it. Not a good situation. I usually split the pills in half because 2.5 mg is really all it takes and taking the whole pill makes the side effects I already get even worse. However there is not one side effect that I consider a problem when I compare it to the pain of my migraines. | F | 34 | 4 years | 4/3/2006 |
