Experiences with

Zomig

I take Zomig (Zolmitriptan) and over the last 20 years they have just made things so much worse but if I don't take one I become so sick and dehydrated I could potentially end up in hospital and I know they don't want people like me clogging up the system so I take another Zomig and go to bed.

Has anyone who takes Zomig gone from 2.5 mg to 5mg to manage their attacks better? Just wondering as I have been taking 2.5 mg for years but lately more frequently and I’m wondering if going up to 5mg once I’ve checked with my Dr could help the rebound effect.

My Dr has dismissed the need to come off Zomig on age grounds. Fitness may be a factor but as my Mum died from a stroke I’m concerned. I don’t relish giving up Zomig, which has been a life changer. I think I’ve answered my own question but anyone given up Zomig/zolmatriptan on age grounds?

Zomig Orodispersible Form not Available

What are people’s experiences with zomig?

I have tried many remedies over the years but found that Zomig was the most effective. But because it isn’t recommended for over 65 year olds (constricts blood vessels) my GP recently prescribed Bisoprolol (beta blocker).

Migraines triggered yesterday and today the medicine is good (zomig) but it knocks the stuffing out of you and its worse without food. Please look at the link you might find it interesting. Thanks

My mother takes Imigran and its really tempting to take some, I normally have Zomig but I know that is definitely contraindicated for pregnancy so obviously have stopped that.

I took zomig for pain

I take zomig, which works but although I can function, they leave me feeling mussy and stupid. I know that mycophenolate can cause headache, but the increase doesn't really tie in within time that I started it. Any advice appreciated 🌼🌺🌼

Im taking naproxen for the pain and zomig had migrains since 16 now 58 still here still trying to reduce them since menopause been worse now go blind for days unbearable pain does anyone else have this

I only started last week around the anniversary to celebrate a year since last Zomig. I believe it may take 3 months to see if it reduces the number of attacks. We shall see. Has anyone else already tried this with any success?

I have gone from taking 20+ Zomig a month in several years up to and including 2014 to taking 5 or 6 a month while I was having chemotherapy for recurred ovarian cancer (early 2015), to taking none at all since my last 2.5mg tablet on 25 June 2015.  

This didnt really work but zomig is my lifesafer..i have cut out the neronotins over 6 weeks ago .sick of putting drugs into my body n started a low carb diet lotsvof coconut oil greek yogurts veggies n meats ..and so far my migraines are mych milder where when i have one i only take half a tab !

I use Zolmitriptan (zomig) but they give me a rebound migraine so I'm basically on a treadmill of having a migraine, taking a zomig and then getting a rebound. I used to try to break the cycle by using MIGRIL but in the UK it is no longer available at the present time.

My head feels like its cooking from the inside out at worst n without zomig id have prob died by now the pain is that unbearable! So inbetween these meds i use peppermint oil to ease my shoulders neck n cool my head down.

The excruciating headaches continue to wake me up some mornings between 4am and 6am, but I've found a series of coping strategies which are much less invasive than my usual resort to Zomig. These start off with a couple of paracetamol and a biscuit and water.

I'd had Botox three times in 2014 which enabled me to reduce my intake of Zomig from around 20 a month to four or fewer, which has been very beneficial.

Not sure what to do next other than what the doctors advise , I'm currently taking neurontin which ease the pain and zomig which also help but it's just baffling to me!

He uses oxygen every evening and is on Topirimate 300mg each day he's also had the steriod injections in his neck which did not help, he uses zomig nasel 5mg, pizotifen at night and is on a high dose of steriod tablets at the mo for two weeks to try and help it. the docs have tried him on all sorts of
