For Migraine "Present migraine has plagued me for 2 weeks despite my customary meds (-> Treximet, -> Percocet 10mg, -> Imitrex injections, not in same day, of course). I also do Botox migraine every three months. I not only suffer with common symptoms, debilitating headache, nausea, light/sound sensitivities, I also have numbness, unilateral paralysis, and even blindness. I've tried most approved treatments, including 'off-label' medications, with ranging levels of relief. I've yet to find a preventative, aka 'miracle drug', although Botox has effectively reduced the number of my 'headache' days. At any rate, my migraine specialist gave me samples of Cambia at last visit, and today I remembered I had it. It quickly took a level 9 to a level 3."

For Migraine "I don’t know what type of sadist thought that aniseed and menthol were the flavor that people suffering from a migraine want to taste. I had one sip of this and had to run to the toilet to vomit because it was so awful. The only time I was able to stomach it was when I was so stuffed up I had absolutely no taste and had run out of all my other options. It did help bring down the pain of my migraine, but it left me completely feeling out of it and dizzy. I prefer taking Maxalt (which I find just as effective) as I can actually keep it down."

For Migraine "Have suffered from migraines for the past 10 years. I’m always interested to try new medications. Personally, I found Cambia to be one of the worst. I found little to no relief. The taste is horrid, especially when your taste buds are heightened and extra sensitive. I experienced the worst side effects, which included diarrhea, dizziness, anxiety, and nausea for days."

For Migraine "Used to lose entire days to migraine. Cambia works quickly and effectively. The flavor is a bit off-putting if you're nauseous, but the results are worth it."

For Migraine "This medication did not work at all on relieving my migraine pain. The side effects were horrific! I experienced severe nausea, chest tightness, anxiety, numbness down my arm, and dizziness."
