| 5 | severe migraine headaches | No side effects so far | It is critical that you take a pill as soon as you feel the onset of a migraine. I approximate total relief to be between 1 - 2 hrs. with 1 pill. If I wait too long then I have had to take a second pill and it can take 6 - 8 hrs to get relief. I have tried so many prescriptions and this is one pill that keeps me out of the emergency room. | F | 48 | 3 years | 2/28/2008 | 5 | migraine headaches | sleepiness, "spacey" | Takes about a hour to kick in (take right away before headache is at its worst). I've tried a lot of diff. migraine pills, this one works good for me | F | 25 | 1 years | 2/28/2008 | 4 | for moderate migraines | None. | Relpax works within one hour. | F | 45 | 3 years | 2/21/2008 | 5 | Frequent migraines | It works fine for me, but: It seems that I may have some rebound migraines (increased frequency). Also, some seem to last longer but with much less intensity (bearable for a couple of days compared to 18 to 36-hours ruined). | Works for me. Usually one 40mg will do the trick. But sometimes I need two. | M | 45 | 3 years | 2/1/2008 | 5 | Migraine | Absolutely no side effect that I am aware of - it makes be good as new. I feel completely normal (actually better that normal) after it is working full force. | This is the magic bullet for me when Topamax fail to prevent my migraines. It has never failed work for me; I had taken another trypan previously, Maxalt, with far less satisfactory results. The only minus I have found is that it can take about six hours to knock a bad migraine out 100% when I wait to long to take the pill although the improvement is very noticable after two hours; if I take it more promptly, it's fully effective in about two hours. | M | 50 | 3 years | 1/25/2008 | 5 | migraine | muscle weakness, slight sleepiness | F | 41 | 3 months | 1/17/2008 | 5 | Migraines | Sleepiness | Relpax makes you feel all cozy like you want to go curl up somewhere and sleep. The only bad thing is it takes 2 hours to kick in. But after it starts working, you feel so comfortable with no pain. And it's not in a dizzy or drugged sort of way either. It's just very nice. You'd just better be in a place where you can take a nap. | F | 33 | 3 years | 1/13/2008 | 5 | for migraine headaches | fatigue, urgency to urinate and sometimes some hot flashes or a strange feeling in my chest | This really works well for my migraines, especially if I catch them in the early stages before they get too severe. | F | 48 | 2 years | 1/10/2008 |
