My pain management doctor prescribed Axert pills and Zomig nasal spray. I tried the Zomig nasal spray in the office when I had a mild headache and then when I got home I had a masssive migraine so I'm not too sure about it. I will try the Axert tonight if I need it and see how it works. Has anyone had any relief with either Axert or Zomig. The Axert is very expensive- It will cost me $50 for 12 pills, :eek: so I really was hoping the Zomig would work.

I took some different migraine medicine and Axert was one of them the first time it worked for me but after that it haven't. I'm not sure if I'm much help because my Dr believe migraine medicine dont work for me but I've been trying different kinds like right now Zomig is the one have to test and see if it work. So sorry if I wasn't any help.

that's ok.... thanks for responding though. I am going through trial and error right now to trying to keep my headaches under control. I swear Zomig gave me a headache, but Axert did get rid of a doozy I had on Tuesday night. It took 2 hours but it did help.

Does Axert make you drowsy? I have axert but have never tried one. I need a medication I can take while at work that will knock out the headache and not me. Any suggestions??

Zomig nazal spray (5mg) works great for me. I take it at the very beginning of a migraine. Works in approximately 10-15 minutes. If I take it during an attack, approximately 30-45 minutes.
Ask your doctor if he/she can increase your mg dosage if your currant dosage is not working.

I do not take Axert. However, Axert has a discount program. Check out the following site: [url]http://www.needymeds.com/programs/996.shtml[/url]

I take Axert and yes it is expensive. When ever I'm in to see my internal medicine doc for something I ask for samples. Sometimes I have to take 2 Axert (not at once) but one then if I don't feel better my doc said I could take another one 30 min later. Usually by then I'll feel relief. We've also noticed that I get migranes around that time of the month. My ob/gyn gives me enough packets of birth control pills to have only 4 periods/year and I have noticed my migranes aren't every month anymore. What a relief! I don't remember Axert making me drowsy, but when I have a migrane it's usually so bad that I need to close the blinds, wear my eye make and rest. Hope that helps!
