User Reviews for sumatriptan oral

i have had terrible migraines for most my life and i started this medication about two years ago and every single time it has taken away my migraine within 15 minutes, the only thing is the pain in my neck and throat, sensitivity to heat, the weakness and tiredness. but the side effects are way better than having a migraine !

I have been having migraines for years. dr finally prescribed me this medication. I only take half the pill because of the side effects. it takes away the pain most of the time other times it relieves it enough to where I can function. but the pain is still there but not as bad. the side effects are the tightening in my neck and throat the burning in my nose and the tired feeling after. it does make my migraine worse before it gets better. but id take the side effects over the migraines any day.

Within 15 minutes this gets rid of my migraine every single time, I only take it for really bad migraines because the side effects are rough. I get really sore muscles, sore throat, and feeling of weakness. The side effects are better to have than a migraine, though. Honestly it's great to know I can continue my day if I get a migraine with this pill.

I’ve been getting debilitating migraines for some tome with nothing working as relief Started this medicine about a week ago and my headache disappears within a half hour Medicine makes me feel a little tired and causes a burning sensation in my nose Mild upset stomach and loss of appetite the following day All these side effects are worth it to me!

Worked within 1 hour. Made my throat hurt a bit but worth it.

While this medication both at 1/2 and a full pill work very well on the headache it makes me dizzy and I pee all night, usually at least 4 times. That's not good. So I try not to take it because of that.

I have been taking Sumatriptan for over 30 years and it has saved my life. I get migraines so bad I feel I am at death's door, and this medication stops them cold in 30 minutes. I have no side effects whatsoever. NO other medication has ever worked at all. Not everyone will be as successful as I am or should take it, but if you have migraine, I would strongly suggest seeing your doctor to see if it will work for you.

get migraines at least once a week-dr. said try this now have nausea ,dizzy/loopy , and still have migraine on top of the other bad feeling. not taking anymore ..no help--but it was easy to swallow the pill.

I have been taking this for 2 months. I get 2-3 migraines a week. However, only 2-3 a MONTH are debilitating. Those are the instances where I have ONLY noticed that Sumatriptan actually helps. For my minor migraines it does nothing. Although, I am not sure if the relief for my bad ones are from the sumatriptan or sleeping/ibuprofen/hot shower.

I suffered with migraines lasting mostly up to four days per occurance. They were so severe I’d almost wish for death! Finally my dr put me n sumitriptan, and it literally saved my life I believe! I try not to focus on the neg side effects, because to be rid of the pain is worth it! One pill will knock it out within min, and I know I can always take the second one for the most severe flare ups! I do take it as last resort as I have I very high threshold for pain because this is a dangerous med, but when I need it , it has never failed my severe pain!!Read More Read Less

I have had migraine for years, y this rx works effectively.

I have had migraine headaches since I was a pre-schooler. For as long as I can remember I have suffered with migraine headaches sometimes three to four times per month and each occurence could last up to three days. I would be hypersensitive to light and noise. My head would ache severely on my left side. I would be nauseous and sometimes dizzy and miserable from the feelings of helplessness. I struggled through elementary and high school and persevered through the agony. Tylenol, aspirin, ibuprofen did nothing to lessen the pain. It was after my family doctor tried me on many other alternatives that he suggested Sumatriptan. I was in my late 20s. It was a lifesaver!! It is the ONLY medication that has taken away my migraines. I just turned 60 and although the frequency of my migraine attacks has reduced, the intensity remains the same. Sumatriptan works EVERY time to take the pain and symptoms away. I honestly do not know how I could live on today if it were not for Sumatriptan. The negligible side effects are transient and insignificant compared to the migraine pain. From what I understand it does not work on some people who claim to have headaches. All I can suggest is that their headaches may not be actual migraines but possibly some other headache that Sumatriptan is not designed to treat. If it doesn't work for you that doesn't mean that it doesn't work for others. It saved my life and my sanity. Read More Read Less

Incredible lifesaver. From early onset of a migraine to feeling no pain at all - even blissful, relaxed, calm. This completely eradicates my worst migraines within 30-40 minutes leaving me feeling amazing. Wish I knew about it sooner.

At first it seemed to work, but its like a Hit and miss now its more of a miss. I instantly feel very sick and then sometimes my migraine will go away, but with the nausea I really don't like this medication anymore

Definitely worth a try

This Drug has improved the quality of my life greatly! After years of taking T3's. To make it thru the day. And they just knocked the edge off the headaches.I tried sumatriptan and it works with no side effects. Don't let your headache get out of control. If you feel one take one immediatly.Takes about an hour.After 30 years of pain this has changed my life for the better.

This really is a miracle pill. My grandpa, dad and myself all suffer from the same type of migraines. We have aura symptoms, our face and body goes numb for about 20-30 minutes, then the piercing cluster headache pains kick in followed with intense vomiting. I took sumatriptan with my last migraine spell and let me tell you.. I still had a light headache, but my numbness vanished and I didn't vomit once. I was able to sleep the rest off. No crazy side effects either. So thankful for these.

Within ten minutes of taking this medication, I had nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The headache went away, but it was traded for the above issues.

I suffer from cluster headaches and migraines. I just started taking this medicine yesterday. It is effective for me in controlling the pain. About an hour after taking it my head pain is gone. That last for about 6 hours before i need another one (50mg) What i do not like are the side effects. i experience intense tingling and tightening in my upper neck shoulders and arms that is very uncomfortable.
