Used to treat ON related migraines. Works fairly well until it doesnt. If I use it too often it stops working. And I cannot work while on it.

I have used in past. Stopped using because it made me sleepy. But recently a doctor wanted me to try again. He said, "You are supposed to be sleepy when a migraine ends. That means its working."

I only used this when I had to as a last resort. They either gave me a shot or a pill and it was hard for me to breath and somtimes it really made my head hurt temporarily.
