1,400 | Sumatriptan | migraine | "Thank God for Imitrex. The first tablet I took stopped the headache and didn't have any side effects the first time. The next time I took it I felt shaky.

228,471 | Geodon | bipolar disorde | "I was on this for several months and had great experiences with it.

Unfortunately, it's about $300 a bottle... | 10 | December 27, 2016 | 21 |

209,428 | Zomig | migraine | "Out of the five or so migraine medicines I've tried, Zomig is easily the best. The caveat being you have to take the pill at the onset (as soon as you feel symptoms).
