Maxalt-MLT (rizatriptan) for Migraine: When I first started taking Maxalt MLT several years ago it was a wonder drug; my headaches were gone within minutes with no side effects. Lately I've noticed that I get a little groggy after I've taken it, and it also takes longer for it to work. Sometimes I have to take a second dose after two hours before it works. That's still better than having a migraine, though!

Maxalt-MLT (rizatriptan) for Migraine: Wonder drug. I tried many others. Maxalt MLT works so quick and free of all the usual side effects. I can use Maxalt MLT and within 30-60 minutes return to normal activities free of the normal after migraine haziness. It has given me my life back. Many thanks to Dr. Z. for prescribing this.

Maxalt-MLT (rizatriptan) for Migraine: Maxalt has really changed how I felt about my migraines. Before I was prescribed Maxalt, I would suffer terribly, taking only OTC medications which "never" helped much. Now when I feel those tell-tale signs of a migraine coming on (I do not experience any "aura"), I take a Maxalt (and sometimes some ibuprofen, too) and I know my migraine will be gone within the hour! And I'm not sleepy.

Maxalt-MLT (rizatriptan) for Migraine: It works rather well but puts me to sleep for about 3 hours. I am still trying to find a migraine drug that does not put me to sleep.

Maxalt-MLT (rizatriptan) for Migraine: Next to Frova (which is, to me, the miracle drug), Maxalt-MLT has been by far the most helpful triptan migraine medication. And it's also quite convenient, as it dissolves in your mouth (without having a horrible taste, even).
