Zolmitriptan (2,5mg) for migraine

When I feel a migraine coming on, I take 2 excedrin. It often then goes away.

Zolmitriptan (2,5mg) for migraine

After searching for the right migraine medicine with the GP for a long time, we found zolmitriptan 2.5 mg. it went really well for the first few months, quick to absorb and quick to work. Downside was that you needed to go to bed and try to sleep. It got less effective the more I took and eventually had no effect at all. That's why I finally decided to go the headache clinic.
