SUMATRIPTAN SUCCINATE (SUMATRIPTAN SUCCINATE): Sumatriptan is used to treat migraines and cluster headaches. It helps to relieve pain and other symptoms of migraines/headaches including sensitivity to light or sound, nausea, and vomiting. Prompt treatment allows you to get back to your normal routine and may decrease your need for other pain medications. It does not prevent future migraines/headaches or reduce how often you may get a headache. Sumatriptan belongs to a group of drugs called triptans. It affects a certain natural chemical (serotonin) that constricts blood vessels in the brain. It may also block other pain pathways in the brain. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

I've never been sensitive to medications of any type but I've felt horrible on this antibiotic. So irritable and low in energy could hardly get through my normal workouts. stomach was always hurting. Felt nauseous, couldn't help burping a lot. Usually a self motivated happy person but felt depressed here and there. Ahhh hate this and not even half way there.
I used the NuvaRing for a year in 2003, and it was a dream! It was convenient, and seemed to smooth out my moods. After a year off, I went back on in 2005. At first all seemed well, but over the next two years things went downhill almost too quietly to notice. By 2007, I'd gained weight (despite running 3 miles daily), burning pain made sex too painful to endure, and I was paralyzed by panic and depression. I was actively planning suicide -- and I'm NOT that kind of person! On a hunch, I quit the ring... and the anxiety waned within 48 hours and disappeared after a few months. The depression is lifting, albeit more slowly. I dropped 15 pounds without even trying. The excruciating sex faded back to normal with six weeks. Did they change the formula of this thing? It really was lovely the first time I used it, and only recently have I heard of others having the same problems I did. It may still work great for some, but pay CLOSE attention to how you feel, as the awful side effects really
major leg and joint pain, trembling hands, stomach cramps, anxiety, tingling-pins and neeedles feelings in legs and hands
panic attacks, obsessive thoughts
I have been taking Evista since Aug 2011. I was loving Evista mostly because the lack of side effects I was experiencing. But honey moon is over: first my left toes and now both feet are numb all the time. If I sit or drive for 1/2 hour or more, my leggs become numb from my toes to my knees. Bad.
Constant muscle ache, diarrhea, felt jittery, insomnia
Not many -- maybe a little fatigue, dizziness, hair loss. Also taking Keppra.
nerve irritation/pain throughout left arm
After taking allegra d for about a week my ears filled up with fluid, horrible pressure it felt like my ears were going to explode. when I went back to the Dr I found out I had a double ear infection and a sinus infection. who would have thought that a med for my allergies would have caused this. Think I will take my chances with the stuffy nose and sneezing!
