For Migraine "Maxalt helped with my migraines, however, the aftereffects left me depressed, with chest pains, a sore neck, achy all over, tired, and dizzy. I also found myself having to pee way more than normal, and it made me feel like I was dying, in a sense. I have a brain tumor and for sure thought it turned to cancer and spread through my body before realizing it was the meds. I haven't taken any in a few days and already feel so much better."

For Migraine "Yesterday was my first time when I took Maxalt-MLT to cure my migraine. My doctor prescribed this drug six months ago, but all those months I had no incidence of a migraine. Yesterday was again after my weightlifting workout. I only get migraines after a workout the last few years. I always get aura for about 20 minutes before a headache begins. That is good, the doctor said, because I can take Maxalt faster before the pain begins. My first impression is that the aura lasted about 15 minutes, and the pain was bearable. On a scale of ten, I would say 6.5, compared to other times that reach 9-10. The first 10 minutes, I was feeling a little bit weird and a little dizzy. After 90 minutes, the migraine went away. I think it needs about 90 minutes to act."

For Migraine "This pill is like magic. I just noticed that the pill works in minutes for me, and I feel a bit of dizziness and like a burning head, and then the pain is gone. Today I got an early migraine, and I was able to use the MLT and work kind of slowly, but it stopped the pain in time. But I still feel very sensitive to light. Great medication, ask your doctor for Maxalt or Maxalt-MLT."

For Migraine "I started taking Maxalt after horrible experiences with Imitrex. I had almost all the same side effects: extreme nausea, dizziness, falling asleep, and a general out-of-it feeling the rest of the day. But the worst part is that it did absolutely nothing for my migraine. I am just glad that I had samples so I didn't get stuck paying for a prescription I would not use."
