I’ve had migraines for nearly 50 years and it’s the only medication that has helped me. I haven’t tried a lot of things eg Botox because they’ve not been offered to me but my migraines now are much less severe than they used to be. I have tried various preventative medication but haven’t persevered with them as I’m unable to deal with the bad side effects. I now only take half a Zomig tablet for my migraines and if taken early enough this usually works. However, when migraines used to be really bad and I had to take a whole tablet (or sometimes more) it used to literally knock me out - which I didn’t consider abad thing!

I've taken Zomig nasal spray for about 15 years only triptan that really helps and the others, including Zomig annilhalate my stomach for days afterwards if taken in pill form. Also last time I checked it still is the only triptan where it is advised you can take another one in two hours if the first hasn't worked.
