diclofenac sodium

Has anyone tried diclofenac sodium tablets, 50mg delayed release.
I called my Neuro today and explained that, due to the fact that my copay went from 20 to 50$ for Cambia, I would no longer be able to use that.
I also take Maxalt at the onset of a migraine. She said it was OK to combine the Maxalt and the Cambia, which is good, because I quickly realized that neither of them really work separately. You can imagine my perterbation when my copay jumped, I was already shelling out 20$ for 9 packets.
Today she called in this new thing, and I'm wondering if anyone has tried it or has any advice.

I've never tried, heard of, or used it. But I'm sure someone here has. I hope it works for you.

I have used both diclofenac sodium and cambia. I could not take the taste of the cambia so used diclofenac instead. It worked as well as the cambia for me. Have you tried trimex it has imitrex and aleve. No help for me because Imitex does not help me. I just take aleve with my maxalt. If you have migranies that last the whole day a long acting med like frova would work better. The only problem is that your copay probably would be high because long act med are expensive. My insurance wouldn't cover them.

I've used dichlofenic but for muscular pain - it's available OTC in the UK as voltarol. I'll bear it in mind when I get another migraine.

It's not good for the stomach for me.

    I find myself going places in the car and not wanting to get out of the car. I come back home and I don't want to get out of the car. I think it's the only time I spend reflecting. Chronic tiredness from Long Covid plus the immunosupressing meds for my Crohn's is slowing me down but everything just seems a massive effort. I am dealing with the paperwork following my father's death but it's not...
