I take zomig for my migraines and have noticed that I feel quite sad afterwards. Is this related to the drug?


Sure, Zomig has several side effects including mood disturbances. The mild side effects  include dry mouth, weakness, drowsiness or dizziness. In most people these side effects are well tolerated. In rare cases, Zomig can also cause muscle pain, weakness, slurred speech, confusion, abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, irregular heart rate, left arm pain, depression or a persistent cough. If these symptoms persist, one should seek immediate medical attention. Fortunately, the mood changes that you develop are reversible once you discontinue zomig. If the depression persists, then it is recommended you speak to your doctor.
