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."

For Migraine "Maxalt relieves my migraine in 1 hour, however, it does make me sleepy. I love the fast dissolve feature. I will have to stop using it, however, due to the rising cost, not covered by my insurance company. I am now hoping Imitrex will work as well."

For Migraine "Maxalt-MLT is effective in arresting my migraine. It does come with a price. It makes me very sleepy, and I tend to have rebound within 24 hours and require a second dose. I do think riding the migraine out would be much worse. It is a great medicine. Nothing else has worked as well."

For Migraine "My migraine did not go away. It might have only marginally lessened it. I went to bed for two hours and have felt terrible all day. This medication made me very sleepy. I took a second wafer some hours later, but there was still no improvement! Now I cannot take any other migraine medication for a whole 24 hours, which is far too long. I made the mistake of taking the second wafer when the first one wasn't helping. I already had jaw pain, so reading that others get it as a side effect makes me wonder. It reminds me of Imigraine, and I thought that was useless. Sydney, Australia 2015.05.18"
