User Comments about Sumatriptan
07 Aug 2010 Imitrex name brand does work much faster but either way I get very sleepy and must sleep.The gerneric brand just isnt as effective and does take longer and nausea always results.I suggest getting some reglan or phenegin with it.Great part is the migraine leaves and its less costly.Watch who the maker of it is. I believe that makes a difference signicantly.

06 Jul 2010 My migraines used to be debilitating. Now that I take this drug, I can function again after I take a pill. I do get a little nausea and cold sweats sometimes after I take a pill, but I would take those side effects anyday over a brutal migraine.
