Zomig and migraines

Zomig works great for my migraines. I do however experience heat sensitivity, and unexplained weight loss. I went from a size 4 jeans to a size 0 in two months after starting Zomig( no complaints about that though)

No side affects at all. I was on Imitrex since it first came out by injection (I've done 100+ shots) then went to the pills. My body became ammuned to the Imitrex and my doctor put me on Zomig - Both the Imitrex and Zomig work wonders for my migraines. I've suffered from migraines since I was 19 years old (I'm 50). Before Imitrex/Zomig, I went to the ER and was given Demerol for my migraines (and was accused of being a drug addict) - In one year - I went 22 times for my migraines.

Yes - these drugs do have side affects. But that is the chance I take. If down the road, new evidence shows that some new side affect shows up - well that is something I will have to deal with. Right now, I am productive, happy, pain free and I can work a full day, not miss any family functions. Those of you who are experiencing problems or side affects - get off of it. Its written in the paperwork when you get the prescription. Don't keep taking it. It is your choice to take it or not. There will always be a percentage of those who cannot take a drug. When I took the Imitrex injections - I always had a bright red swelling around the injection area, even after santizing the area - but I still continued with the injections - but that was my choice. I didn't want the pain - it was too severe for me to handle. Do what is best for you.

I have been suffering from mirgraines once a week for the last four years. After many trials with different prescriptions I was very pleasantly surprised- no, I was ECSTATIC to find that FINALLY I had a drug that took my migraines away! Yes, there are some residual affects- I have noticed muscle aches after taking a zomig- but I would rather have some sore muscles than a migraine. My cure- a jacuzzi. I found that drinking lots of water after taking this medicine decreases the side effects! God speed! Zomig is my hero!!
