zomig
 
Anyone have any luck with this medicine? Its very expensive, around $525 for 9 pills.

I just took it for the first time, and within 2 hours it has taken the edge off my headaches quite a bit. They are still present, but they are not pounding right now, which is fantastic. Im not sure if its just pure genuine luck, or if its actually working. Im assuming it will tell me the more I take it.

Just curious if anyone has tried this, and what there results are.

I use it amd it almost always works.

I am stunned at the cost!!!! In Canada I pay about 40 $ for about 8 pills.

Can you use generics such as sumatriptan? Th may do the same thing for you.

Good luck!

why are prices always so different in these two countries? abilify is incredibly more exoensive in the US than Canada.

The Canadian government, through a variety of mechanisms, regulates or influences the prices of drugs. Plus, they cap the product liability of drug manufacturers so the drug manufacturers do not have to account for high law suit expenses. Plus, the US has a 30% higher standard of living so they think we can afford higher prices.

Plus, the US has the best FDA money can buy.

Yup, sadly I tried the imetrex/sumatriptan but was allergic to it.

The zomig really did help considerably, I felt so much better on it. Sadly it wears off in a few hours and the headaches came back.

Since its a migraine medicine, does that mean these headaches im experiencing are actually migraines? And if so, why would a concussion cause that?
