Advice & Tips
Avoid taking this pill and any other Triptan. The side effects are getting worse as I take more of it. I managed to get down to taking it once in 7-10 days and it doesn't help. I feel lousy for days each time I take just one pill.

Advice & Tips
I have Raynauds and NONE of my doc's at the time said one word about how the Raynauds will become worse taking this drug. I stopped taking it after I found out on my own.

Advice & Tips
Works wonderful for migraine pain, if taken at the VERY start of migraine. If not it takes more than one tab. Disadvantage is severe drowsiness, can not take unless I can sleep for a min 1 - 2 hours immediatly afterwards or it has little to no effect.
