Helped, but Imitrex is better for me.

Never tried

It worked except it took 2 pills and 4 hours just to get it to a dull roar.

I am currently on Relpax and it does work. It takes about 30-40 minutes, but my migrain does go away along with my nausea with no other side effects
Working / Worked
Success for about two months. Then my headaches stopped responding, and I had to go back to Imitrex.
I have taken this twice and it seemed to work however, it makes my brain burn a little.

I LOVE this stuff for the migraine that is truly aura and nausea. Works quickly and usually before I am totally incapacitated.

I am using this now (that I have insurance). Because it is SO expensive, I have to be absolutely sure it is a migraine before I'll take it! Most times,if I take one(40 mg.)and lay down in a dark, quiet room for 2-3 hrs (and sleep) it is "dented" when I get up. Not always, but enough to make it worth continuing with. I spend the entire next day in a FOG !

The only thing that really helps.
Working / Worked
I do not know where I would be without it! Nothing helped. Over the counter or prescription. Finally I got a script for this and I have taken only this.
