For Migraine "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."

For Migraine "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."

For Migraine "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."

For Migraine "Maxalt-MLT works great. Gets rid of migraine within an hour. Tried the generic form but only reduced pain by half, plus migraine comes back within a few hours. Also, side effects much worse."

For Migraine "I would always have to go to doctors or the hospital for treatment of my migraines. Until a doctor prescribed these. They changed my life. I haven't needed to see a doc for migraines in 4 years."

For Migraine "This works wonders for me, but makes me a little nutty for a while. Better than migraines by a long shot. They try to make it taste minty, but it's still a little foul-tasting."

For Migraine "Works within minutes, usually. Have not noted any side effects with it, although I do not care for the taste. After it melts and is gone, I drink water to get the taste out of my mouth."

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."
