Title: anyone tried Axert???
Post by court88 on May 10^th, 2005, 7:21pm

This is my latest drug I'm trying. Haven't tried it yet. Anyone had any luck with it?

I found it to be as effective as imitrix or zomig. It is in the same family of meds. However it takes aprox an hour to kick in and only last a couple of hours.

Worked on two ch's, ineffective after that. Prefer zomig myself.

I tried it once and it didn't seem to help. I respond much better to Imitrex.

Tried it last year when my cycle started and it helped some, but has been ineffective since. Imitrex works for me sometimes. BF

Yes, it is mildy effective however the side effect is rather annoying. You get a really stiff neck.
