For Migraine "Found these Maxalt MLT are the only things that work for my migraines. I try not to take too much as worried about the rebound headaches and often go two days of pain before taking. These work in about 30 minutes."

For Migraine "My experience was mixed. I took Maxalt MLT as soon as I had my usual 'aura.' It worked within 30 minutes. The aura was gone, and I never did get a migraine. However, within an hour, I had a severe angina attack and had to take my nitro twice to relieve the pain. Nitro glycerin gives you a headache, so I think I'd rather have the migraine than the chest pain! My daughter took it and had a wonderful experience, took the pain away within 30 minutes, and no side effects at all. I guess I won't be taking it again. Too bad, it worked on the migraine."

For Migraine "I had used Maxalt when it was relatively new, and although it is quick to make short work of migraines, it did cause me rebound headaches 80% of the time, which were never as bad, but still no fun."
