| 5 | Migrane | Nausea, acid stamach and Tiredness were when i took drug first. I went to bed and slept it off hiwever 12 hours later am feeling extreamly dizzy and unsteady on my feet.overall worked well. Would rather side affects then painful migrane. | F | 25 | 1 days | 10/21/2015 | 4 | migraine | Severe neck pain with in 20 minutes of taking Relpax . migraine disappears in 30 mins but need to take 3 mersyndol for neck at the same time. | Great migraine relief but have to endure the neck pain for 5 hrs.next day extremely washed out and foggy .Better than the migraine though. | F | 41 | 9 months 80mg | 7/1/2015 | 5 | migraine | no side effects, relief within an hour - have actually taken 1/2 tab of a 40mg and it worked | amazing stuff if you can take it at the onset of migraine | F | 56 | 40 1X AN | 6/5/2015 | 4 | migraine (hormonal) | I have taken imitrex injections for many many years and never found anything else that worked even half as well but I recently lost insurance coverage and had to find something more affordable. Doc suggested this. It seems to knock the pain of taken early enough. The first few times I took it I didn't have any significant side effects but tonight I had some very scary chest pain/pressure. It brought me to tears, felt like a very tight squeezing around my chest. It's eased quite a bit now, couple hours later, but not completely gone. I don't have an alternative med and the migraines are unbearable so I guess I'll continue to take it but I'll make sure another adult is around just in case it happens again and is serious. | Probably a very good med for most, just getting a tad nervous about that side effect | F | 49 | 5 months 40 | 5/13/2015 | 5 | Regular Migraines since I turned 50 | I might be a little hazy but well worth the pain and nausea that comes with the headaches. Love this drug! | F | 53 | 1 days 40mg 1X day | 3/27/2015 | 5 | Migraine | Around 30 minutes after taking 40mg my head starts to clear and the migraine is gone. I've never had to take more than 40mg. If I take one before sleeping I usually wake up feeling muscular stiffness all over. | Have to admit I don't go to the gym for 24 hours after taking a relpax because I'm afraid it will be too much for my system. Also get sleepy, groggy, but I can work and drive. | F | 57 | 15 years 40 mg 1X day | 3/12/2015 | 5 | migraines | Sometimes I feel a little nauseous and tired in phases before the pill kicks in but after that the migraine is gone. After many years of taking it, I started to feel like it's a diuretic also and I get itchy all over but mostly my scalp, still better then a migraine though | This has been the only thing that's ever helped me and I've suffered from migraines since I was 3. I just wish I knew what the long term side effects mean for me. | F | 38 | 10 years 40 | 12/5/2014 | 5 | Migraines since I was 13 | When I first stared this med many years ago, I had to take the pill and go straight to bed. I can now take this meds and continue to work and go on about my day. The only thing that I notice the most is that it makes me urinate a lot after I take it. | I really am glad that this was suggested for me to try. Before this med I was having to make frequent trips to the ER. Relpax seems to always work for me. I do know that if I have to take the second one and it don't work then I know it's off to ER, but Praise the Lord, not had to go in a good while. Thank you RELPAX! | F | 35 | 7 years 40mg 1X day | 11/11/2014 | 4 | Migraine | I took the Relpax today,a friend of mine gave it to me and it definitely worked. I'm quite satisfied with the drug. At first I was afraid to use it after reading all the comments regarding it. But the pain was so severe I had no choice,and I'm glad I did because it helped me. And I'm no longer in pain. I suffer with migraine because of hormonenal reasons.I also wanna add I was fortunate not to have bad side effects, I just got sleepy and felt some laziness. | F | 30 | 1 days 1 | 10/29/2014 | 2 | Migraines | Initially my head began to feel much better. 30 minutes later I began to get lock-jaw. Felt my body temperature drop, I was freezing to the touch (says my boyfriend), and I was sweating profusely. My jaw hurt so badly down my neck, back arm and into my chest. I had a hard time breathing. I could barely open my mouth to talk. It was terrifying. My heart rate increased. I was so dizzy and later vomited. It took my migraine of three days, away amazingly but the side effects were seriously scary. Just didn't work well with my body I guess. | F | 23 | 1 days 40 mg | 10/25/2014 | 5 | migraine | I feel a bit spacey and out of it for a few hours after taking relpax unless I can take it and sleep for an hour or so then I feel okay. I also feel very sensitive to tastes and I crave a coke. I never drink coke but I need one when I take a relpax. Also this may be too much info but I can not have an orgasm when taking this. | Relpax has been a godsend for me. I have had migraines since I was 12 and it takes the migraine away fully. | F | 42 | 8 years 40 mg 1X AN | 9/24/2014 | 5 | migraine | Have occasionally had the chest tightness and tingling/lightheadedness. Recently though, has started having a diuretic effect, which never had before. I have the same thing with Benedryl - in the bathroom every 15-20 minutes. | As long as I take it with the onset of symptoms and don't wait too long to figure out if it is really a migraine or not, it works. If I take it too late, it doesn't matter cause I can't keep it down. | M | 52 | 8 years 1X AN | 9/5/2014 | 3 | Migraine Headache | Felt really tired and very and not energy or strenght - Stayed in bed all day - it eased the pain of the migraine somewhat but not totally - probably would not take it again | F | 54 | 40 1X day | 8/12/2014 | 4 | Migraine | Fatigue, tiredness, achy legs. Felt really tired for the whole day, | F | 34 | 1 days 40 mg | 5/11/2014 | 5 | Migraines | None | I can't say enough about this medicine for my migraines. I take a pill at the onset of a migraine and within one hour, the migraine is usually always gone! Amazing med with no side effects...and I have tried many other rescue meds before this which had side effects for me. | F | 55 | 4 years 40 mg 1X AN | 4/29/2014 | 5 | Migraind | Sleepiness, if I don't eat nauseous | F | 23 | 1 days 40 as need | 4/24/2014 | 5 | Migraines | NO side effects! | I started taking Relpax in 2003. What a Godsend this medication is! It knocks my migraines out (which are hormone related) every single time. I do sometimes still have the dull pain, but nothing like a full blown migraine. I guess I am very lucky to have zero side effects from this drug. I can't recommend this drug highly enough! | F | 38 | 11 years 40MG 1X AN | 4/1/2014 | 1 | Migraine | Swollen face and neck, black/blueish around eyes looks like I was in a brawl, extreme back neck pain lasting all day so far, tiredness, still migraine meds made everything worse, including my headache. Tightness in chest. Harder to breathe. Burning in throat, feels alot worse when drinking hot liquids-seems like I was drinking acid!! Horrible!! Slept all day. Face a mess. Emotionally feeling like I was on another planet. All my joints hurt. I would not recommend trying this medication at all!! I wish I would've read these before hand, if I did, I would've never even taken the chance. Trust me, don't try it! I can't wait till this feeling wears off!! I hate migraines, but at least I know what it is - the way I look and feel right now, I don't know how serious it is!!! Try something else! Good luck to everyone! | HORRIBLE !!!!! | F | 40 | 1 days 40mg 1X day | 2/8/2014 | 5 | Migraine | Slight diuretic effect | I take only as needed for a migraine. This medication has been the best! I have taken it for years and it still works. I have built up a resistance to most of the other medications I have taken. It works quickly and I can remain at work. I've had issues with insurance coverage, limited #, but still workable. | F | 54 | 5 years 40 MG 1X day | 1/14/2014 | 5 | Extreme migraines in hospital from | When I take my relax I have to take a phenegran and find a bed ASAP. That is a lot better than having to be in a hospital from a migraine | I have had migraines all my life 11 years ago they were so bad I was hospitalized for almost a month. My medical team tried everything. Finally a student nurse suggested Relpax and phenegran. Luckily my drs tried me on it and it has been a Godsend ever since. I only take it when I absolutely have to. My insurance company with very high co pays will only let me have six a month. That just doesn't cut what I need when I do. While taking care of my disabled Iraq war vet that is my husband. | F | 38 | 11 years 40mg 1X AN | 12/7/2013 |
