This usually works for me the first time. Very rarely do I take a second one. It takes two hours to begin easing my headaches though. If I catch it early enough, it is great. Published: November 02, 2007 ::

I have been taking Amerge for three years to prevent migraine headaches. Recently BS/BC has rejected my use of this drug. I am at a loss as what to take now. I have taken all of the other drugs and none of them work in preventing the headaches, just work when I get a headache. I need help on this. Published: November 13, 2007 ::

I have been suffering migraines for over 25 years - 5 years ago amerege was prescribed. I have since learned to manage my triggers but when I do get a migraine one low dose amerge works within 2 hours. I have gone from 9 pills a month to only 3 to 4. This pill has been my savior.

This drug has been like a miracle for me. Headaches used to last three days, now headache usually almost always gone within two hours! Very easy to take, have had absolutely NO adverse side effects on it. Published: November 02, 2007 ::

in 4 years I have not had to go to the ER for a "hypo" for a migraine headache, Amerge always works and only one or maybe two times I had to use the second pill in 4 hours. Very happy with this medication, doesn't make me feel tired or fussy, and I can go on with my day. Published: May 07, 2008 ::

This works on even my most severe migraine headaches. My only complaint is that it takes at least 1 hour before I feel any relief, but it's comforting to have such a reliable treatment available. Published: April 24, 2008 ::

I can't remember now many mg I take but I have to cut pill in 1/2 and take them 30 mins apart. Published: October 27, 2007 ::

this is the longest lasting tryptan available and the only one that has worked for me. I take with 3 advil, otherwise it does not work. Published: October 15, 2008 ::

I have been taking this medication for migraine pain for a couple of years (1mg pill for about 2-3 yrs). Initially, all it took was one pill and poof the pain was gone, almost immediately. Now I have to, at times, take the max (5mg) to relieve the pain. Overall it works, takes a bit of time to take effect and more than one dose for me; but I like that I hardly feel any sides effects and can at the very least manage my day and for the most part the migraine is completely gone by the end of the day. So far this has been the only medication to help relieve the pain for me. Although I have continuously increased my doses since I started taking it, I would continue to take it.

If my migraine is caught in the early stage, taking one Amerge(2.5mg.)will take care of it with little or no side effects. Published: August 18, 2008 ::

I have tried a few other medicines for migraines and Amerge is the only one that really works for me. Sometimes, I have to take more than another and take motrin with it if my headache is really intense but it will go away. Published: August 12, 2008 ::
