Hello everyone, I've been prescribed Sumatriptan 50mg Tablets for my migraines and cluster headaches. I've been staying away from them because of the possible side effects, but the pain is getting unbearable. The medication works by narrowing blood vessels in the brain and reducing substances that cause headache pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. Have any of you had experience with this medication? I'm curious about any and all side effects, even the non-urgent ones.

I've had some weird skin discoloration and tingling. Is that normal? Is it the migraine or the medication? The loss of vision really freaks me out.

I had seizures when I took this. I can't even. My doctor said it wasn't related but I'm still skeptical. Given the potential side effects, maybe it's not worth it?

Sumatriptan is great but it can cause some nasty side effects. I've had a few instances of serotonin syndrome, so be careful with other medications. Always consult your doctor first!

I get the weirdest stomach pains after using it. It feels like my body is at war with itself. Don't know if that's normal. Maybe I should call my doctor

Be careful with this one. I had a bad reaction to it. My doctor switched me to another medication.
