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

Amerge is my golden pill. In the 7 yrs I've been on the medication I've only needed to take 5 mgs within 24 hours twice. One dose normally takes care of my most severe headache.

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.

Works very well if I take it at the onset of the migraine and not wait.

Just wish it didn't take so long to get over the side effects of the Amerge. Much easier on my stomache than Imitrex.

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.

No effect on pain. Had another aura a few hours after taking the medication

The only problem, other than cost, is that it takes a while to work. I take Advil and gravol (one of each) to help out until it takes effect.

I have suffered from migraines for over 30 years. I have hormonal changes (menstrual + ovulation)triggers plus others such as foods. Amerge is the only triptan that has worked for me. Mostly because it takes 2+ hrs to work. Inmitrex gives me inmidiate chest pains. I take Amerge at the onset of an attack, which is sometimes during the night when I wake up with "the feeling". If I don't take it within 15-20 minutes of the onset, the migraine develops, although mush controlled, and I usually require a second dose. Because of the many triggers, I have months when I can live with as little as 1 Amerge and others when I require as many a 8-9 2.5 Mg pills. Until last week, my insurance only paid for 3 pills and now they approved 8 a month. If I loose my insurace I would have to cut in family expenses to cover for this medicine, otherwise I am literally disabled.

My doctor told me that this would take a while to start working, and to begin taking it the week of my period when I know that I will have a migraine for 3-5 days. It seems to have blocked the migraine. I can't believe there is something that is actually working, as I've tried almost all triptans out there. This one doesn't make me sick like Imitrex & Maxalt either.

I get a migraine monthly and within 45 minute of taking this medication, I am pain free and able to continue on with my day. It is expensive but well worth it to have no pain

It takes 3 hrs to work, but takes migraine away 99% of time.My problem--no insurance other than medicare. It's way too expensive. I'm even on disability because migraines are so severe.

New to this medication. Had to take 3 doses and use alot of ice but finally eased the pain.
