Global Patient Feedback for Relpax

Please see our forum guidelines.


I've taken Relpax for almost a year now. I've tried Imitrex, but I got the side effects of an achy jaw and that worried me, so my doctor let me try Relpax. It works wonderful! My migraines are hormone related, so instead of cramps before my cycle, I get migrains. I love Relpax and have to pay a high price for it. Even with insurance, it is on my 3rd tier co-pay, which is the most expensive, but I am willing to pay it because it works so well. No side effects either and that is a plus!

I think Relpax works great! Better than any other migraine medication I have tried. I haven't noticed any of those side affects either, sometimes I have to take 2 if its a real bad migraine but thats all.

I have suffered with migraines for 40 plus years. This has been my miracle drug. My doctor prescribed it 2 years ago, and it has worked very effectively. I have been able to stay at my job and continue working when I get a migraine rather than leave work early and go home and directly to bed for the rest of the day. Sometimes it takes 2-3 hours, but it works. I would tell anyone to give it a try, it has worked wonders for me.
