this is the onle pill tht I don't have to tske a lot to get relief has help he feel like myself
Tried many other drugs and combos over a 2 year period. Finally tried Esgic and it was a godsend. That was 20 years ago and it still works just as well!
I take this for migraine when 800-mg of Tylenol has not provided relief.
Taking for 12+ years, works well most of the time with just one pill, 20% need two.
What is the difference between this and fioricet?
I take this only when ibuprofen does not relieve my headaches. Usually only 1 pill takes care of the pain. I found out this week (August 2013) that Esgic is no longer produced and my doctor cannot find a good alternative.
My doctor prescribed Esgic more than 15 years ago. I take no more than 4 pills a day. When I do not have a headache I don't take the pills and have no reaction or withdrawl sympthoms.
I have been taking this medication for 12 plus years work well. Have never taken more than 45 a month now the doctor want to restrict me to 8 pills a month not sure why have gone without for long periods of time not addicted.
I took Esgic while I was pregnant for really BAD headaches and not only does it work REALLY FAST me are the baby suffered any side effects!
found out i am now addicted to this drug esgic oral and need help
esgic..provides a great way to relieve migraine attacks without the use of narcotics that cause the migraine to come-back most of the time even worse.its what docters call....#rebound#
I have been taking Esgic for about 5 years now. I have TMJ and get headaches at least 4 to 5 days a week. This medication gets rid of the headaches usually with 1 pill. When the headache is really bad, they told me i could take another pill. I have never noticed any side effects from this medicine that I am aware of. I dont leave home without this medicine, because the headaches just come up out of nowhere. Dont know what I would do without Esgic!!
I have been using this medication for a long time and it has help me with my migraine he. i have had migraines headaches sences i was 16 years old and im 68 now.
While the meds did work, it caused me to have muscle spasms from head to toe. I took only two doses and for the most part the tension headache did go away but my body and face twitching were too weird!
Awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even with Demerol it didn't work! I had to go to the hospital twice in one day because of this stupid prescription!
I had optical migraines previously was given a sample of esgic to try. Worked great and now I have used this medicaltion for the last 25 years for migraines and other sever pain. I can not take codein pain pills, esgic is prescribed instead. 9 out of 10 times it works great. I don't run out of this.
I started taking this because i was 3 months pregnant and having a migraine or tension headache everyday because of increase of hormones. I want to tell ya that this is the best medicine that i have taken for migraine! It works right away but better if you dont eat anything before you take it. Plus it calms me and relaxes me at the same time. I love it!
