For Migraine: “I suffer from trigeminal neuralgia with my migraines & this medication is the first to actually work. In an hour or less all my pain is gone. I can take it and go to work because it doesn’t make me groggy. The only downside is the doctor prescribes 9 a month. I have more than that per month. I was hesitant this would work because nothing has before. Thankful for Naratriptan!”

For Migraine: “I have been prescribed almost everything available to help migraine attacks EXCEPT for Botox. Since being on Naratriptan I have my life back. From having an attack last 5-7 days to almost immediate relief, one day groggy I’m so happy. Just doesn’t put me to sleep. Best product ever. Average price in Australia about $40 for 4 tablets”

For Migraine: “It works! Felt like a cooling sensation in my head/face. Made me drowsy so I jumped into bed and slept for a couple of hours. Woke up with some small migraine pain but overall reduced pain from a 10 to a 1. Didn’t have the chest tightening side effect that I had with Sumitriptan.”

Amerge (naratriptan) for Migraine: “Consistently effective to prevent daytime onset of cluster headache if taken between 5-6AM if prodromal. Works for approximately 22 hours at 2.5 mg single dose. Cost of 1 pill is now prohibitive at more than $50. Generic naratriptan 2.5 mg as Naratrex can be purchased overseas for 53 cents!”

For Migraine: “By far the best Migraine Medication I have ever taken and I have tried them all with little success and major side effects . With Amerge (Naratriptin) the only side effects I experience is a little sleepiness and sometimes a bout with minor depression but it much better than the migraine. II try to take it when the symptoms first begin and it will totally knock it out. If I take it once the migraine starts, it will still work by easing the pain and sometimes knock it out. I am able to fully function throughout the day I highly recommend this drug I”
