Title: ZOMIG
Post by HOUSEOFPAIN on Feb 13^th, 2004, 9:41am

NEW to this site.

Just got the beast back !! I have been fee for 6 years, but now its back.

My Nero has given me O2, Zomig nasal spray (samples) and Indocin<sp>. I have had 6 attacks in last three days. Took the Zoming @ early waring symptoms and it appears to work!!!!. I mean in about 15 min pain has started to go away, 30min- gone! Doc say to use Zomig only once a day for now. I use it at work (Zomig) and I use the 02 at home.

I've used Zomig tabs with pretty good results...tried the nasal spray once. It worked a bit faster it seemed, although I didn't really like the taste and drips...

But it's a good abortive for me! :)

I'm bumpin' this, because if you people haven't tried zomig yet, you should.

Welcome to the board, HOP

I've never taken the Zomig.....but alot of folks here have, and it seems to do the trick.

It's great to hear that you have a doctor that seems to be knowledgeable about CH.

Hope you have lots of pf time!!

I'm a big zomig fan, but I'd still trade a year's supply for a preventative that's 100%. Oh, and thanks for posting the 1 zomig/day rec by your doc. I'm running that course right now (18 HA's in 19 days).

I have used zomig and it works great. I do know tho that with the imitix that you can take the ns several times a day. I had taken it for several years at 4-6 times a day. If you suffer from more headaches like I do (8x/day) you may want to look at imitrix

Hi Houseofpain,

I used to drop in zomig until last summer. I took zomig since '97 (approx.),but last summer I had to switch to trex injection because it has no more effect = 2 hours of
f**k **g pain... ....(maybe should have tried a larger dose, but not recommended with these med- triptan )
In the past years, like you, the beast was gone after 20 minutes if taken at the right time (in the middle of the night, 30 min max = gone away but tired at wake up). May be last summer was a different bout??

wish you luck with zomig (for long time)
I do not give up with something that alreary worked for many years- I will start with zomig in the next bout.
