Didn't work for my daughter. She now gets Botox Injections every 10 to 12 weeks. Botox is what gave her, her life back.

I've been on thus for years and as a migrain sufferer it has been my absolute lifeline. Give it an hour you may feel a little nauseous then it passes and so does the pain. It brought my life back..no more days lost in a dark room

I take rizatriptan somsame family and works a lot of the time for me. I take them once I get the aura start. I dunno if you get aura or not but it works best if you take it as soon as you know one is coming on!
I probably take 5-6 a wk! But that's cause I have Behçet's disease which causes severe migraines and my pressures in my brain they think are high but can't get a reading.
Hope it helps you, sometimes I get a little sleepy but I take mine with 2 diazepam, morphine, cocodamol, cyclizine as I have to hit them with everything to stop them!

I broke down and took one yesterday in the afternoon & it did not make me sleepy & took my headache away. I am waiting for a prior authorization for the Botox Occipital Nerve Blocks from my neurologist.
