This worked most of the time to stop the headaches but I stopped taking it because it was not on my list of approved meds. Now I take Maxalt, which works about the same for me.
Working / Worked
I take it right when I start feeling symptoms, and it works w/in 10-30 minutes.
The side effects are scary though. My face gets very tingly, I feel nausious and light headed. I become more sensitive to light/sounds, and usually feel extremely tired afterwards. = /
