I have had migraines for over 30 years. After trying several OTC meds, I needed something stronger. I keep Zomig with me. I can usually abort a headache in 45 minutes. I still have to be in a dark room, no movement, and no loud noises. I usually feel very drained after a headache. My doctor has also put me on preventive medicine which has been such a blessing. He said one migraine is one too many. Talk with your doctor and see if you can get help. Migraines are horrible!
