[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 408576, member: 1233"] I have taken it. It sure didn't do anything for migraines for me. It is commonly used for arthritis, fibromyalgia, etc... type pain. I don't think my docs would even think of rxing it for migraines, esp as medications like imitrex are so effective. Do those not work for you or have too many side effects? If they don't work on their own you can add aleve (naproxen sodium) to them. Treximet, one of the newer triptan medications is just imitrex and aleve (500 mg aleve, so take 2 OTC tablets - 220 mg per tab). It is good for mild to moderate pain, but not so effective for severe pain. It is often sold as ultracet, which just means it has tylenol added to it (most medications with "-cet" indicate that tylenol is added to the medication). I had no side effects from it, it just didn't work as well as I needed it to and after a while it wasn't effective at all. but I was taking it every day for arthritis. I was never woozy, sleepy or anything from it but it is still a good idea to not drive or do anything dangerous until you know how you will react to it. Are you on anything to prevent your migraines? Often that is the most effective way to handle them. [/QUOTE]
