Relpax has been the only drug that cures my migraines. I have not experienced any ill side effects from taking it. I'm lucky that my insurance company will allow me 12 per month. Since it is so expensive, it would be nice to see a generic available on the market. Published: April 30, 2008 ::

I have had migraines for 25 years and this is the first drug I have ever taken that will make your headache go away. It doesn't require you to sleep it off. There is no headache hangover the next day. The only problem I have with this medicine is you are only allowed 6 pills for a month and they cost $160.00 Published: October 27, 2007 ::

Finally started taking this a few years ago and it works great. After 30 years I can tell when it's coming so take this right away. I know it is expensive and I only get 12 per month. What I do is get the 40 mg and cut in half with a sharp pill splitter. Have been told that they won't work that way, BUT they do. Sometimes have to take another half but many times this works and I do it because 12 per month is not enough and I don't want to save them for the "worst" ones. This also means I can keep some in a container bedside and in my purse and don't have to try to get those darn packages open when I already feel lousy. Hope this helps someone else.

Relpax works for me everytime. I take a pill as soon as i feel the migraine coming on and within half an hour all signs of the migraine are gone and I can get back to my day. Published: May 13, 2008 ::

This medicine has been a lifesaver. It is the only migraine medicine that has worked for me! I used to be down for hours when a migraine struck. If I take this medicine when I first feel the migraine coming on, I am completely rid of the headache within 30 minutes. Very rarely do I ever have to take two tablets. I do not experience any side effects except being tired for that day - but that's so much better than a migraine that I really don't mind being tired!! Published: March 26, 2008 ::

Comment from: help4myhead, 25-34 Female on Treatment for less than 1 month (Patient)

This med. really works to combat my migraine although it seems to come back about 12 hours later. It's the best med. yet for treating my headache. My side effects, however, were severe drowsiness, constant yawning and nausea. Has anyone else experienced depression with this drug? Published: March 08, 2008 ::

I have tried so many different medications including imitrex. And Relpax is the best for my migraines. I only take one at the first sign of pain,and thats all i needed and I'm usually in pain for 3days,but not now I'm fine with Relpax. Published: October 14, 2007 ::

Comment from: cmg, 25-34 Female on Treatment for 1-2 years (Patient)

I have always had problems with migraines here and there when I was younger, but then I starting having migraines that lasted about 3 days during my period. NOTHING got rid of it. I had tried hormone pills, Maxalt, Imitrex, Topamax, Verapamil, Loratab (after trying OTC drugs first of course) Sometimes it would get so bad I would have to go get a shot of Toredol & it was affecting my job. But after taking the Relpax it has been great! The headache is usually gone in about 1 hour. The only problems that I have is that before the headache goes away it feels like a band tightening around my head and it feels like the headache is getting worse, but then ALL of the pain is gone. I can function at work when I take it, but if I take it and get still then it does make me tired. All in all, it has been GREAT! Published: February 09, 2008 ::

I suffer from migraines (and on a daily med to prevent) and this is the only thing I have ever tried that gets rid of a migraine! In rare instances, I have had to take 2 in a day and that was probably less than a handful of times. Honestly, this medicine has probably given me back quality of life.
