Sex: F
Age: 55.0 Side effects: None! Time taken and dosage: 2 years40 mg 1X AN Review: Relpax is my wonder drug. Almost all of my migraines are knocked out with one pill; occasionally I need two. Relpax has only failed me once: I was in a very smoky restaurant/bar and got a killer migraine the next day. Relpax didn't work, neither did torodol injections, I ended up with a demerol injection. I do wish Relpax were less costly. 6 pills for a $100 copay turns out to be $17/pill!

Sex: F
Age: 40.0 Side effects: Frequent urination. I think is it works as a diuretic for me. Sometimes a slight tingling. Time taken and dosage: 8 months 1X D Review: Have been experiencing migraines for 7 years which have been progressively getting worse over the past 2 years. Would have migraines for at least 10 days in a month. Nothing worked, took Frova, Axert nada. Relpax works wonderfully and I hope it continues to work. Migraines are also less frequent. Now about 2x a month for a few hour each. Wish it was cheaper, I have no insurance so it cost $30 per pill:-). Highly recommend it though.

Age: 54.0 Side effects: none really, but I do notice that after 1-2 hrs once headache starts going away I do have to pee, think it has a bit of diuretic effect..not a problem though Time taken and dosage: 3 years 1X W Review: took Zomig for years, didn't work as well and caused that "pounding" like heart palpitations when it worked, but Relpax doesn't do that...works usually within 2-3 hrs and many times I "chase it with a coke"; the caffeine seems to be the last catalyst to erasing it completely...life saver...no problems
Migraine

on April 30, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 36.0 Side effects: Weepiness and sadness after about 5 hours. It's at the end of the side effect list - it's not you just feeling down about having had a migraine - it really is a side effect! Otherwise, typical triptan side effects but nothing severe. The usual migraine nausea intensifies for about an hour or two then subsides. Time taken and dosage: 5 years 1X AN Review: Relpax changed my life. This drug always works for me and allows me to function with a migraine. It's best to lie down for about 2 hours, but then I can function, and if I absolutely have to work through it, I can. The side effects are not nearly as bad as they were with Maxalt or some of the other triptans. Sometimes, a really bad migraine will come back after 24 hours, but taking another Relpax does the trick. I've never had to take it more than twice in 2 days. The weepiness and fatigue is a totally bearable side effect. I really appreciate this medication, and I can't wait until there's a less expensive generic available!

Age: 49.0 Side effects: Tightness in head & neck - maybe difficulty swallowing - headache sometimes gets worse for an hour or so before going away. Some fogginess and tiredness but NOTHING in comparison to having a 3 day nightmare. Time taken and dosage: 365 days Review: Have had migraines about twice a month for 30 years - largely hormone related. They lasted 3 days - and had gotten worse as I got perimenopausal - including 36 hours of severe vomiting and pain - complete incapacitation. Relpax works great now that I finally learned to take it right away - thanks to lots of your comments - thank you! I had awful rebounds with imitrex that lasted 6 days - so I was afraid of tryptans. Now that I pushed past that fear, and take them right away, Relpax works within about 2 hours - though it frequently seems to get worse at first. I am trying to find out what the doseage limits are - if it comes back. I take about 10 to 12 a month. I have taken 2 pills on occasion initially to get it to really go away - and it would sometimes come back in 24 hours, but go away if a took a second pill. Now I've had some where the headache comes back in 8 to 10 hours. How frequently can we take them? I hope it doesn't become ineffective with time! It has saved my life this year.
Severe migraines

on January 20, 2010
Sex: F
Age: 55.0 Side effects: None Time taken and dosage: Review: This was my miracle drug, but now Blue Cross will no longer allow me to have it even when my doctor complied with the "pre-authorization" process. My daughter lies to her doctor so I can still take it, but I try to self treat the more minor migraines I get. I also am having more frequent migraines (stress?) since I don't take the 40mg Relpax as frequently as I was. When I began taking Relpax (because I was having horrible side effects from Imitrex), I was getting severe migraines about every ten days. I'd been taking Relpax for 4-5 years and my migraines were lessening in frequency to about only three to four a year. Now I'm back to having a migraine every seven to ten days. How depressing to have an insurance company rule your life and affect your health so completely.

Sex: F
Age: 44.0 Side effects: Tired, foggy head, nausea Time taken and dosage: 4 years Review: Relpax was amazing for 4 years or so - I was the poster child for it. Then in the last few month it just doesn't work anymore. Perhaps my body is used to it now. It takes 80 mgs and the migraine never fully goes away. It is a shame because I used to think Relpax was the wonder drug but not anymore.

Age: 20.0 Side effects: dizziness, chest tightness, light headed, drowsiness Time taken and dosage: 1 months Review: I love how much it helps my headaches, but I'm concerned about the side effects everytime. I know it works, so I want to take it, but I get so scared of feeling so strange that it almost makes it not worth it.
Migraine

on October 8, 2009
Sex: F
Age: 31.0 Side effects: Each time is different. Usually one of the following happens -fatigue (varying degrees), tightness in my neck (3-4x's during the 1st year of taking it), nausea - never intoxicated feeling or uncontrollable drowsiness. non addictive. Time taken and dosage: 2.5 years Review: Even though I usually have one side effect, (lately it's drowsiness), I'd take this any day over a migraine!! Relpax takes sometimes only 20min to work, and I love the feeling of happiness & wellbeing; I can feel the moment I switch from migraine to being pain free. I usually call out to my spouse with immense relief, "it's over!" It's awesome, so happy someone invented this & glad my work insurance covers it!!! One thing I wonder is if results change with time/age/duration of use...?

migraines

on September 27, 2009
Sex: F
Age: 32.0 Side effects: none Time taken and dosage: 3 years Review: I have suffered from migraines since the age of 6, and have found Relpax to be the absolute best treatment for my migraines. I have been on many different migraine meds in the past, each with side effects. I have been taking Relpax for 3 years now, and have not experienced any side effects. Relpax works very quickly (20-30 minutes on average for me), even after onset of a severe migraine. However, make sure that you lie down in a dark room after taking Relpax for it to work effectively. I advise lying down for at least an hour for it to completely go away.
too long on Migral

on September 24, 2009
Sex: M
Age: 61.0 Side effects: drowsiness, rebound headaches Time taken and dosage: 9 years Review: Has been able to give me a life more-or-less free of migraines (not that mine were severe), but too much reliance results in 'rebound' headaches - the local 'Centro Cefalee' (Italian for headache centre) is working on this, so far without success. Fortunately for me, Relpax is on the 'free' list in Italy, otherwise the cost would be an issue as I'm taking around 15 per month.

Age: 43.0 Side effects: Feel a bit "buzzed" and some brain fog, which is a good trade off for a migraine. Time taken and dosage: 6 months Review: Have taken this about 4 times and worked every time. I took once after an Imitrex failed, the migraine was killing me as I had to wait a few hours in between medications, and it still worked. Works a lot better than Imitrex

Sex: F
Age: 55.0 Side effects: It exacerbates restless legs, but is worth it. Time taken and dosage: 10 years Review: This drug worked for me when Zomig failed because of far too much grogginess and not 100% clearance of migraine. If migraine is not too severe, I am able to relieve it with 1/2 a Relpax, split with my pill cutter. My migraines generally last 4 days and I take the whole or half Relpax every 10 hours or so.

Sex: F
Age: 37.0 Side effects: extreme pain/numb weakness in arms 1st time, hips/legs 2nd time.felt like migraine but in my extremities. unable to sleep due to pain(just like migraine) Time taken and dosage: 4 days Review: I have had extreme migraines for 20 years that come on suddenly - vomitting, light,sound,and skin sensitivities,fogginess, memory "loss". Stabbing pain in head and dizzines, diarreah. I have taken Axert for 8 years w/ great results, only sleepy immediately and groggy next day for side effects. I do not have insurance and my dr stopped getting samples of Axert. He gave me several to try, Imotrex, Froma - I tried those w/ horrible side effects. Relpax seemed to be the least "dangerous". It relieved the headache within 1 hour, but the pain went to other areas. It's great to not have a headache, but it is upsetting to just have the pain moved. I couldn't sleep because of the pain and was then alert because my head didn't hurt anymore. When I take the med and it hurts so bad I don't want to take it again, but when I compare 6 hours of pain in my extremities to 15 hours of near unconsciousness from a migraine, I'll take 6 hours.

Age: 33.0 Side effects: not much, once I had a tight feeling in my chest, but it went away after a few minutes. sometimes I wonder if it keeps me from falling asleep after I take it. It happens sometimes, but not always. Time taken and dosage: 10 years Review: I think it is great. I've had migraines since I was 2 years old. I wish I had something back them that would have worked. None of the preventatives work for me.

Age: 45.0 Side effects: Cloudiness, fogginess of brain Time taken and dosage: 3 years Review: For me, a wonder drug. The only thing that has helped me when I get one of those "hit by a train, just kill me now" migraines. My doctor gave me several other ones that did nothing (Emerge fomes to mind), but Relpax works for me. I just need to go lay down for three or four hours and pass out and when I wake up, I feel much better.

Time taken and dosage: 4 years Review: This works well if I catch my headache early. I can take 1/2 of a 40mg pill. I have found that after a long period of time all the triptans become less effective.

Age: 46.0 Side effects: Mild sleepiness that goes away in an hour or two. Time taken and dosage: 2 years Review: This drug has been a complete lifesaver for me. I had extreme migraines that would sometimes last for up to 2 weeks. Relpax takes them away in 20-40 minutes. My cluster headaches occur morning after morning in cycles. 1 relpax is good for the day. I have been taking about 6 per month for 2 years. They are amazing.

Age: 44.0 Side effects: Nausea, muscle weakness, and I hurt all over after the headache is gone - almost like it takes the pain and redistributes it all over my body; this usually goes away within 12 or so hours. Time taken and dosage: 2 years Review: I have taken them all - Zomig (helped some), Maxalt, etc. this is the only one that comes close to helping for now. I almost always have to take 2 - 40mg pills and sometimes I still have the migraine and just have to suffer through.

Age: 46.0 Side effects: Slight tiredness the next day. Time taken and dosage: 10 months Review: Of all the triptans I've used, including Maxalt, Imitrex and Frova, Relpax is my favorite. If I take 40mg. at the beginning of a migraine, I experience complete relief within 2 hours with almost no side effects. Relpax allows me to work, socialize and carry on with my normal activities for an entire day without any migraine pain or nausea.

Age: 35.0 Side effects: itchy scalp, some trouble sleeping Time taken and dosage: 4 years Review: I love relpax. The problem is that my new insurance won't pay for it. I start with 20mg, and will sometimes need 80mg. I tend to get really itchy - from my hips to my head, especially my scalp and chest. This is not really a problem except that I keep thinking I have lice until I remember my head is itching from the Relpax!

I told my Dr. and she gave me Maxalt 10mg tablet. I had a 5-day migraine(avoiding relpax) and maxalt got rid of it in a few hours. It's more mild than relpax and it works.

My Dr. wanted me to take Topomax every day but I heard scary stories.

My doctor gave me a sample of Relpax 4 years ago and I have been filing that prescription for four years now! I cannot imagine my life without them. I take a pill with the onset of a migraine, and it is gone in 30-45 minutes.

Sex: F
Age: 37.0 Side effects: A little tired, dry mouth... and just feeling great relief!! Time taken and dosage: 2 years Review: I love this medication!! I have had migraines for years... 30 years. Imitrex was the only med on the market years ago, and it nearly gave me a heart attack. Relpax is different - it WORKS!! As soon as I get that "this is a migraine" feeling I take it. I try to carry one with me at all times. Take it, then go home... My dr advised taking it with 500mg of Aleve - he was right, worked even faster. 1 40mg usually is fine for me. It is expensive.. I always ask for samples. It is worth it to me to spend $20 a pill to avoid the ER.
Severe Migraines

on May 29, 2008
Sex: F
Age: 37.0 Side effects: sleepiness/light-headedness Time taken and dosage: 1.5 years Review: This is the only tryptan drug that consistently stops my migraines and keeps me out of the ER - BUT - the key is to take it at the first sign of the headache. If I wait too long I have to take two of them and sometimes even that won't work and I just end up at the ER. As expensive as these pills are I hate taking two so I have disciplined myself to take them immediately when I feel the migraine coming on. The only down-side is that the insurance companies limit the number you can get per month and I have to really pay attention to how many I am taking. I use Frova as a back-up but that doesn't work anywhere near as well.

Sex: F
Age: 48.0 Side effects: No side effects so far Time taken and dosage: 3 years Review: 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.

Also, some seem to last longer but with much less intensity (bearable for a couple of days compared to 18 to 36-hours ruined). Time taken and dosage: 3 years Review: Works for me. Usually one 40mg will do the trick. But sometimes I need two.

Age: 50.0 Side effects: 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. Time taken and dosage: 3 years Review: 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.

You'd just better be in a place where you can take a nap.
