I've been prescribed Sumatriptan 6mg/0.5ml injections for my migraines. Has anyone else used this medication? I'm nervous about the side effects, especially the risk of serotonin syndrome and blood vessel problems. The doctor explained that it helps narrow blood vessels and reduces nerve activity, but I'd love to hear from people who have actually used them. Was the injection painful? How long did it take for relief? Do you have any tips? Please share your story.
