For Migraine "It provides real relief within an hour. Although I am looking to address the root cause of my migraines, this helps me avoid being completely debilitated for 3 days. I am very pleased with this medicine."

Maxalt (rizatriptan) for Migraine "I have had migraines since I was 11. When people say they are not hereditary...they are wrong. My grandma, mom, sisters and brothers all have them they did not even skip a generation.. my daughter and nieces as well get them. My physician calls mine sinus migraines. I get stomach pain, vomiting, an aura, light sensitivity. They had me on demerol, Percocet, phenergan, imitrex, nothing helped. I have been on maxalt a few years and the one thing I have noticed is that i get pain around the upper jaw area just under the ear...then all of a sudden like the snap of a finger all pain is gone 15 to 25 min. It makes me drowsey. I wake up from my nap feeling great but real thirsty."

For Migraine "This medication is amazing! It is the only med that has touched my monthly migraines which are debilitating. I will continue to use this in the future. I told my husband this is a miracle pill for me. I wish I would have discovered it 20 years ago. The only side effect is sleeping well at night. During the day A bit drowsy but no big deal"

Maxalt-MLT (rizatriptan) for Migraine "This stuff is AWFUL. It doesn't work, and it literally makes me suicidal, even if I was fine when I took it. I am not exaggerating when I say I life became too much when I took it. I took some this morning, and it wasn't until I was writing out a suicide note that it clicked for me that this stuff makes me crazy."

Maxalt (rizatriptan) for Migraine "I've always had 3 day migraines. MaxAlt will take it away in about 35 minutes. Sometimes I would have to take another one (dissolved in my mouth) the next day. I cannot stress enough how much I love this medicine. I come from days when Darvon's were given for migraines, they didn't do anything but zombie you with the pain. I thank the scientist who figured out how to control whatever it is that is being controlled. Of course, it IS too expensive. Without insurance, I would have to suffer, as they are about $32 per pill!"

Maxalt (rizatriptan) for Migraine "Have used maxalt and generic versions of it for years with good results, must take at first signs a migraine. I also have discovered that if you take it at least 1 hour before bed it is very helpful in reducing hot flashes at night, thus is something I discovered on my own but it works."

Maxalt (rizatriptan) for Migraine "I have been using Maxalt for about 5 plus years now. I have tried other migraine meds but Maxalt is the only one that helps the migraine pain and allows me to function - before this med. I would have to take my usual trip to the emergency room for treatment and a few time was actually hospitalized for the pain and dehydration. It was terrible, but now i can depend on Maxalt - it is a miracle."

Maxalt-MLT (rizatriptan) for Migraine "maxalt helped with my migraines however the after effects left me depressed with chest pains 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."

Maxalt-MLT (rizatriptan) for Migraine "This is an amazing medicine that I can not live without. No side effects and completely knocks put the pain. Only once or twice did I need a second dose. It's a life saver. My insurance still covers it so I am lucky."

Maxalt-MLT (rizatriptan) for Migraine "I get very occasional migraines, sometimes out of the blue, sometimes exercise triggered. I always get a visual aura minimum, sometimes get pins and needles down one side. Untreated I will get the tropical crashing migraine but, thankfully, not for more than a day. I used to use Migraleve but often couldn't keep the tablets down. Maxalt Melt has been fantastic. If I can get one within 20 minutes to half an hour of the visual aura and get to bed it will knock my out for a few hours. I either escape the headache completely or have a fairly short lived one, say 2 hours. no sickness either. Superb drug."

Maxalt (rizatriptan) for Migraine "I have only experienced a handful of migraines as an adult (had them often as a child but they ended with puberty), but frequency has increased to 3 within the last year. This was the first time I have had migraine medicine to take. Dr. gave me a few different samples - Maxalt 10mg was the one I took. It was really AMAZING that within 5 minutes of taking it the vice-like pain was gone. I did experience extreme fatigue, some nausea, diuresis (clammy & sweaty), and some muscle pain, but, to be honest I just tried to sleep through most of it. I woke up about 2hrs later feeling better and able to function again. Next time I will ask for a prescription for 5mg, which may decrease the side effects."

Maxalt (rizatriptan) for Migraine "This medicine is a miracle drug. I have migraines that last for 3 days and until my doctor prescribed maxalt I could not get rid of them or function properly. Now I take a pill and within 30 min it is gone. My life is so much nicer I am up moving around exercising and actually living my life like a normal person."

For Migraine "I have been taking it for a couple of years now. Most of the time, it does help. The only side effect I have attributed to this medication is tiredness. I find that sometimes I get very tired after taking the medication. I do not know if other variables factor into this. The medication comes in single-pill blister packs, which can be annoying when you have a migraine. I would prefer them just in a bottle like most medications, but there is probably a reason as to why they come like that. Overall, this is a medication that has usually been helpful."

Maxalt (rizatriptan) for Migraine "I have suffered with migraine since I was 12 yr old, and I'm now in my 50's. I've had every head exam and test possible as well as tried a myriad of medications over the years for treatment. From taking preventive type things daily to treating the pain only during the headache. Nothing has given me the swift relief as this drug. It seems to give me complete relief within 30-40 minutes, without any side effects (that I've noticed). I took immitrex for years with little relief and horrible side effects. It would make me feel dizzy, weird and always made me nauseous. So I stopped taking it. Now with the Maxalt, I'm thrilled to know I can take it without worry of unwanted side effect. Thank you Maxalt! Finally migraine relief! "

For Migraine "Rizatriptan worked wonders for me. I had migraines with nausea, dizziness, numbness in my face and pain down my neck. The first time I took it I felt weird with heart palpitations but the next time I took half and I was fine. Now when I feel a migraine coming I take 1 and it's absolutely gone within 30min. And feel normal! Life saver!!!"

Maxalt (rizatriptan) for Migraine "I have been taking Maxalt for migraines for the past five years. This medication is the only one I have found that really takes care of the migraine and any residual headache. The generic ones don't work for me. "

Maxalt-MLT (rizatriptan) for Migraine "I had a horrible migraine for 4 days. I was throwing up from pain in my head and neck, weak, dizzy, blurred vision and felt confused. I also couldn’t sleep. After taking maxalt within a couple hours I felt complete relief. I had some side affects of heavy limbs, trouble concentrating, and lethargy but I also felt really calm and relaxed for the first time in days. I highly recommend."

Maxalt (rizatriptan) for Migraine "I suffered from severe migraines for years and all the side effects that go with them. Nothing so much even eased the symptoms off even a little. Then in 2000 my doctor prescribed Maxalt. I placed the dissolving tablet under my tongue and in less than 15 minutes my symptoms started fading, in less than 30 minutes they were gone completely! Truly a miracle drug that I could not live without. If you haven't tried it, it's time to talk to your doctor."

Maxalt (rizatriptan) for Migraine "99% of the time my migraine symptoms fade within an hour. I have had to take a second tablet only twice in ten years. I can function as normal. The only drawback is feeling tired and increased urination, but compared to going through a 36 hour migraine, that's nothing!"

Maxalt (rizatriptan) for Migraine "I am 56 and I've suffered with migraines since I was 5 years old. Maxalt is the only migraine medication that has worked wonders for me!! I take one as soon as I get the slightest beginning of a migraine and it is gone in 20 minutes! Not only that, but I've been taking it for 3 years now and I used to get 2 or 3 migraines a month, and now I only get about 1 every 2 months! Maxalt has been like a miracle for me...I no longer have to suffer with horrible headaches!! Additionally, I have not experienced any side effects!"

Maxalt-MLT (rizatriptan) for Migraine "I have suffered from hormonal migraines since puberty and am now in my fifties. I tried every option the Doctor could offer but nothing helped until I found Maxalt Melt about ten years ago. I call them my magic pill as they can clear a migraine completely within an hour. Very occasionally I have to take a second dose. They work for me with minimal side effects and are worth every penny. I'm in the UK so can get them on prescription."

Maxalt (rizatriptan) for Migraine "If taken at the start of a migraine this medicine works wonders . There are side effects such as dry mouth, tiredness, and joint aches. But as anyone who has migraines know that is a small price to pay for relief from the migraine itself."
