I tried zolmitriptan 5mg for recurrent migraines for more than 2 years and, although it can be an effective treatment, there were a lot of drawbacks. I expected it to work quickly and it took about three quarters of an hour to start taking effect. It would cause thumping temples and also a stiff numb feeling in my jaw. Now I am not taking it I realise it was not the best treatment for me.
