We're all different.
Some swear by it and others find it ineffective.......
I only tried it when I participated in the clinical trials of NECH.
1 placebo, 1: 5mg, & 1: 10 mg
The only one that did a thing was the 10mg and that sent me on a triptan ride of hair and flesh on fire. It was comparable to taking a full 6mg of imitrex vial.
Too much for me and it gave me a sore throat for a week.....but with practice I am told that you get minimal drainage and get used to the throat irritation if you get it at all.
Sorry not too much help

I use the imitrix nasal spray 20mg and find it just as effective as the shot. By 10 min. my ha is gone! I hate needles. I do suffer from nasal drainage a bit from it so I just drink a coke after I snort and all is well. I don't taste the drainage and it doesn't bother me. I have heard good reports about the zomig ns as well. If zomig doesn't work for you ask to try imitrix. Good luck!

Best that you let us know how it works for you. E-Double's statement is true - We're all different.
I sincerely hope Zomig works for you but if it doesn't keep lookin for something that does. It can be frustrating to find the right med./therapy mix that helps control these things but hang in there.
You're going through a process of elimination - keep good records of results for later use.

Zomig Nasal worked like a champ for me. Killed an attack in about 7 minutes. I'd still be taking it today if it weren't for my insurance company. Imitrex Nasal 20mg kind of works for me. It takes about 15 - 20 minutes for the pain to slowly drain away. I currently use the Imitrex injections and find I can abort most attacks with 3mg in about 5 minutes or so.
The only way to know if it will work for you is to try it.

I had same results as Gator. Insurance would only give me six a month though. Stock up when not in cycle. I switch between Imitrex Injections and Zomig nasal. Never together. Good luck and keep posting!

I did the zomig nasal spray study and was pleasantly surprised at the quickness with which it gave relief. I have did the oral dudes for years...it is my triptan of choice. If ya can afford it...it is worth a try....what ain't?
