I was recently prescribed Cambia 50mg Powder for my migraine headaches. I've tried it a few times now, and it does help with the pain, but I can't shake the feeling of dread when I look at the list of potential side effects. Has anyone else had experience with this med? Do the side effects ever go away when your body gets used to it? I'm especially worried about the neurological symptoms and kidney problems. I'd love to hear from anyone who's been through this and has some advice.

Try to take the powder with some food. It helps with the stomach issues.

I had really bad stomach issues with Cambia. I switched to another prescription that I think is much gentler. Sort of annoying to be back to square one, but I feel better.

I think most people experience mild side effects at first. If they persist or get worse, definitely talk to your doctor. But I think in many cases, these reactions do go away over time.

I've heard horror stories about these kinds of medications. It’s scary stuff. Might be worth looking into alternative treatments or natural remedies if it’s possible.

I've been off Cambia and on every other migraine medication ever, and nothing gives me decent relief without heavy side effects. I've been known to shop around for new doctors every time a new migraine medication comes out.

I've been on Cambia for a while now and haven't experienced any of the major side effects. The worst I've had is some mild dizziness, but it went away after a few doses.

The side effects can be scary, but I’ve found that drinking plenty of water and resting helps a lot. The kidney issues are what worries me, so I make sure to stay hydrated.
