User Comments about Sandomigran

01 May 2015	Whilst I am happy taking Sandomigran as it does relieve my migraines, the side effects bothers me most and that is weight gain. I have gained over 10 kgs since taking it from March 2014 —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...

02 Mar 2015	I've been on sandomigran for at least 3 years now. I recently went up to 3 per day but it's not working. It worked really well for ages but no longer and the side effects are getting harder to tolerate. I find they have incresased on the higher dose so I am going back to the neurologist to see if there is an alternative. I've tried lots of other meds though. Hopefully there is something out there that can help. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...

10 Dec 2011	Definitely helps with the severity and frequency of migraine attacks. I have gone from getting a bad attack every few weeks (2-3 days in bed) to very mild attacks every few months. The mild attacks do not stop me from doing day to day activities, although I just take it easy. I feel like I have my life back. I am on the lowest dose now, but prior to that when I was on a slightly higher dose, I did notice a huge difference in my appetite - and some weight gain - just a few kilos - nothing of concern. I do suffer from stomach problems though (bloating and gas) and wonder if this could be a contributing factor. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...

26 Nov 2011	Don't like the lethergy, loss of sex drive and weight gain —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending... I agree to the Terms of Use
13 Nov 2011	I THOUGHT THAT SANDOMIGRAN WAS WONDERFUL. UNTIL I STARTED GAINING WEIGHT. 10KGS IN 2 MONTHS. THE ARMS TINGLING AND TRYING TO GET RELIEF FROM PAIN IN ARMS WHEN TRYING TO SLEEP.YOU HAD TO MOVE YOUR ARMS UNTIL YOU GOT RELIEF FELT LIKE PRESSURE ON YOUR ARM WHEN U GET YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE DONE. AND WHEN DID GET TO SLEEP MY BREATHING WAS HEAVY. HEAVY THAT YOU WAKE YOURSELF UP AND MY HUSBAND. NEVER HAD THAT BEFORE. WOULD US SANDOMIGRAN AGAIN AS LONG AS I KNEW NONE OF THE ABOVE WOULD REACUR. —Posted by MICHELE Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...
