Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | The medication helped to reduce the headache pain if not eliminate it completely. I was getting a headache almost dailey. It was affecting my job and family life. My migraine would start with a mild headache on the left side of my face and the pain would increase with time. Taking Relpax at the onset really helped to slow down the pain and in most cases stop it. |
| Side effects: | | The side effects were mild compared to the pain. Around 30 minutes after taking the pill, I would feel a little tired and sleepy. However the feeling would not be so severe that I could not work or continue daily tasks. This side effect would pass in about 1-2 hours. |
| Comments: | | At the onset of the headache, I would take a pill. Some of my headaches would start at night, around 3:00AM and I would lay in bed hoping the pain would go away. WRONG decision. I quickly learned to take the pill as soon as I felt ANY sign of a headache, no matter what time of day or night. If you don't take the pill at the onset of a headache, the pill will not be effective in stopping the pain and you will have to ride the headache out. That could take a day to several days before the pain subsides. It is extremely important to take this pill at the onset of a headache. |
