At the onset of a headache is the best time to use this medicine. It may take 1/2 to 1 hour for effectiveness. The worst side effect I have is body aches, especially in the lower extremities. Tenderness of skin on the thighs, and pain in the bottoms of my feet are typical complaints.

This product alone did not help my migrane headaches. I finally found relief with this AND 3 ibuprofen tablets. I'm not sure if it was the combination or the ibuprofen alone that worked.

I have taken Zomig for the last several years and am very pleased w/the results. If I take it when the migraine just begins, it will usually prevent it. Even if I take it after the migraine develops, it will usually knock it out w/in a couple of hours. The only drawback is severe joint and muscle pain within a few hrs of taking it, especially if I lay down and sleep after taking it. But, it's a small price to pay for getting rid of the migraines!

This medication got rid of my migraine but put me down for several hours. I also had tightness of the chest and neck for the first hour.

This migraine medication works the best for me. It knocks my migraines out quickly. I don't like the side effects(drowsiness, nausea, shakey) but they are better than the migraine!

I've had chronic migraine's with syncope since I was 28 and this is the first drug that has really been effective on the pain that doesn't wipe me out. The only thing I'd like to see changed about it is for it to be scored so as to be broken in half easier. (my dosage requires only a half tablet be taken at onset..the tablets are hard and requires a pill splitter to cut it.)

Tenderness of skin on the thighs, and pain in the bottoms of my feet are typical complaints. Although my migraine have lessened with treatment to prevent headaches with amitriptyline and propranolol used on a daily basis, the use of Zomig 5mg has been very effective to reduce the frequency of blinding migraines. I would recommend this product for anyone who suffers from migraines. Anything is worth the effort to recover the hours and days lost to nausea, light sensitivity and crippling pain.Read More Read Less
