"I've had mean migraines since I was 5, I'm 42 now. I have also suffered a severe brain injury almost 5 years ago. I've tried every migraine medication. Maxalt did nothing for me. Migranol (DHE) nasal spray did before, and the shots work, and the sumatriptan 6.5 shots, vials, or auto-injections work. Once you have experienced those, nothing will work."

"Just took some for the first time 10 minutes ago, and my migraine is already subsiding. Helps a lot more to put it under your tongue so it'll go into your bloodstream quicker."

"Miracle medicine! Only thing that helps my migraines and within minutes. Insurance won't cover, so will have to find an alternative. If your insurance covers it, it is well worth it!"

"Maxalt works great for my migraines. Also, I had trouble swallowing, and the Maxalt dissolves on the tongue, which is great for me. My pharmacist had to try and find another company that makes pills that would dissolve on the tongue. My insurance stopped paying for the Maxalt, and I could not afford to buy them."
