Migraines

Sex: F
Age: 46.0 Side effects: lightheaded - minor, sometimes Time taken and dosage: 5 years2.5mg 1X M Review: I get hormonal headaches every month, but if I take the Frova, the headache is gone within 30 minutes and rarely (maybe only once) returns until the next month. This medicine has really helped me a lot. I went from not having a life for several days every month to being able to function within 30 minutes as if there was never a problem. ![]()

Age: 39.0 Side effects: Mild tingling in arms, lasting only a few minutes. Slight fatigue. Time taken and dosage: 6 months2.5 mg 1X D Review: Frova has been a wonder drug for me. I have hormonal migraines that can be debilitating without treatment. Upon taking Frova, I usually have complete relief of the migraine in about 30 minutes. The slight fatigue that I have after taking the med is well worth the relief of the migraine. ![]()
daily migraine

on January 14, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 49.0 Side effects: Tired, unable to concentrate fully, headhache only partially relieved. Time taken and dosage: 6 days Review: It does not completely end the headache, only lessens the severity. It takes a long time to take effect (1+ hours). Foggy feeling coupled with the continuation of headache (although much less severe) makes this drug not worth taking. ![]()

Sex: F
Age: 28.0 Side effects: tingling sensations Time taken and dosage: 4 months Review: takes away the headache if i take it fairly quickly-1-2 hours of onset. lasts 1-2 days. i have sometimes have taken it with advil, aleve, etc. and have found that in combination its 99% effective. would def recommend if you have frequent headaches that seem to build slowly over a couple days. ![]()
migraine with aura
by Reviewer89956
on November 13, 2009
Sex: F
Age: 49.0 Side effects: tingling, jaw pain, and feeling silly/loopy about 30 minutes-1 hour after taking FROVA. side effects lasted about 30-45 minutes. also made me sleepy; fell asleep for 2 hours after the "loopy" feeling kicked in. Time taken and dosage: 6 months Review: it seemed to "push" my migraine pain away - didn't relieve it entirely, but did keep it in the background for about 3 hours. unfortunately, it then wore off and i needed to take opiate medication. this has happened to me with *every* triptan i've taken. they do not seem to work for me past about 3 hours. ![]()

Migraine

on June 15, 2009
Sex: F
Age: 46.0 Side effects: Break through headache, fatigue. Time taken and dosage: 10 months Review: Frova has worked best for me as a way to prevent a migraine from returning after I have successfully aborted it with Imitrex or Relpax. Frova is a long acting Triptan that stays active in the system for 24-26 hours while Imitrex and Relpax are both fast acting Triptans that only stay active for 2 and 4 hours respectively. Used alone, I don't find Frova as effective as the fast acting Triptans in fully aborting a migraine. The other downside to Frova is fatigue, which I find builds up if I have to take it two or three days in a row. On the other hand, that's still far better than the "pre-Triptan days" of blinding head pain, vomiting for hours and feeling like I've been run over by a truck! |
