For Migraine "I have had migraines for 35 years. I've tried them all. Imitrex shots were the only other thing that worked, but they hurt and gave a weird rush. Mine are wicked. Frova with 800 mg of prescription Motrin takes it away within 2 hours if it is one I woke up with that was severe and keeps it away. It also is great for preventing menstrual migraines when you know they are coming on and if you are one that gets a migraine with a weather change. If you need more than what the insurance company allows, get your doctor to call, they will up it. I get 13 a month and make sure I refill it every month. I got rebound headaches before using Frova, when this happens, the doctor gives me a shot and ends the cycle."

For Migraine "Frova does a wonderful job of relieving my migraine headaches after 20-30 minutes, however, I always get one or two rebound headaches. Almost exactly 24 hours and then 48 hours after my original headache, my migraine returns, and I have to take another pill. Unfortunately, my insurance will only pay for 6 tablets a month. Luckily, I usually only get 2 menstrual migraines a month, but it takes all 6 pills to get rid of them."

For Migraine "I've had a migraine for 4 days straight and tried different medicines, including Naproxen (which helps my mom's migraines), Excedrin Migraine, Advil, etc. Nothing provided ANY relief. This morning, my doctor gave me Frova and a Dex shot. Within 45 mins, my migraine, that's been plaguing me from the moment I wake up to the minute I go to bed, is finally gone. I am so happy I can now function again without the crippling pain that's forced me to stay inside all week, unable to move without my head throbbing. I am so grateful for this wonder drug. I highly recommend it. Thanks, Frova."

For Migraine "I first started using Frova 4 1/2 years ago. It was wonderful and a great replacement for the Imitrex that no longer worked and had some side effects. Now I am having rebound headaches. I can guarantee I will have another migraine at almost exactly the 24-hour mark from the time I last took Frova. Have switched back to Imitrex, and it is doing the job."
