Age: 56.0 Side effects: None, save perhaps for slight drowsyness but I always need to sleep after recovery usually. Time taken and dosage: 5 - 10 mg 1X AN Review: A lifesaver for me. Suffered with terrible migraines for 40 years. I had suffered with them since my teens and got used to them getting them once a month or every week in later life. I thought it was natural to get one having them for so long.- over 40 years!Finally went to doctors (yes after all that time!) as it was getting too much for me getting older. Doc prescribed Maxalt and next time a migraine started I took half a pill and lay down. half hour later it has stopped were before I would have been looking at 12 hours minimum of throwing up and head torture.Then 24 hours to recover. Now 9 times out of 10 this wonder pill stops a migraine in its tracks. I usually only have to take half pill too. Bliss. I thought migraines were a way of life I had got so used to them over the years. Funny thing was after 40 years I cut out sugar after hearing Jack l'Laine (spelling?)fitness guru, on the radio in 2005 saying he used to have headaches and cut sugar out of his diet and never got one again. I tried that (stopped sugar as much asI could)and found that YES, Sugar sets mine off! So I cut sugar out and I rarely get a Migraine now unless I eat sugary things (and No I am not diabetic) but if I do these pills save me.Thankyou.

I have tried sooo many others to no avail. If taken right away on the onset of the migraine, it will work right away. Not everyone is the same so it works differently for everyone. Sometimes I have to take 2 within 24 hours because it will go away but after 10 hours the pain comes back.

First I was on Topamax....felt like a "mentally challenged zombie" with numb hands. Then I was on Axert, that worked really well to, but it was VERY expensive. Maxalt-MLT is a miracle drug, works VERY fast (30-60 minutes). I totally recommend this to anyone who suffers with migraines.

Age: 55.0 Side effects: Doctors recommendation was taking it when the migraine starts: 15 Min. after taken the pill my light migraine(level 2 pain) was a full blown migraine(level 10+).As recommended by the doctor, I took the second dose after 3 hours, after 1/2 an hour my head felt as if it was in a vise and my skull was to small for my brain. 12 hours after taken the medicine the dressiness started, that lasted the whole next day. Time taken and dosage: 1 days10mg 2X AN Review: I have food allergy migraines 2+ times a month, which last 2-6 hours. When I catch the migraine early 2 EXCEDRIN Migraine pills getting rid of the pain.With MAXALT-MLT I was 2 days in pain: never again.

Time taken and dosage: 10 years Review: I've been taking this since 7th grade, it's always done the trick.

Sex: F
Age: 34.0 Side effects: The only things I had after taking maxalt was I felt a bit light headed/very dry mouth/felt cold allday. Time taken and dosage: 6 times Review: I suffer sight disturbances which start off a little an then get so bad that everything I look at goes blurred and fuzzy. It starts off a small blob in the centre of my vision and after about 10mins it can go across the whole of my sight, sometimes only one eye is affected but it does happen in both usually. This has happened when I have been driving and I have had to stop the car as its got so bad its become to dangerous to drive as I can't see the road or other vehicles on it. This can last for hours.I don't actually get pain till the next day once the sight thing as gone away, then I feel sick and get a pain in my haed like there is a sledge hammer in it. Doctor first gave me Zydol pain killers for the headaches which are to strong for me and made me feel drousy,so thats why I have changed to Maxalt Melt. I must admit I was a bit worried at first about taking it, but it worked after 40mins and my sight returned to normal. Absolutely great.
cluster headache(migraine variant)
by Reviewer88978
on September 5, 2009
Sex: M
Age: 72.0 Side effects: none Time taken and dosage: 2 years Review: I have chronic cluster headaches, normally 2 times a day, and everyday. Maxalt is an amazing abortive medicine for me, though rediculously expensive. I take half a tablet at the at the start of the headache, and relief comes within one to one-and a-half hours. Maybe once in 25 times I'll have to take the second half. My headaches are different than usual cluster headaches in that they will last 6 to 12 hours if untreated. I take 900 mg of lithium and 320 mg verapamill daily as a preventative, but all that does is reduce the severity of 8-10 to 4-6, doesn't help frequency.

Age: 62.0 Side effects: a bit sleepy - can ignore this, though, by keeping busy..... Time taken and dosage: 10 years Review: LOVE this medication. One advantage to Maxalt over Imitrex (which didn't work as well anyway) is that it can be taken without water so it's easily transportable. The dissolving tablet avoids the other problem I had with Imitrex - throwing it up, since water could upset my stomach. Have been cutting the tablet in half when headache is mild - seems to work although may need to take other half later. Also, am pleased with the fresh minty taste.

Age: 47.0 Side effects: None Time taken and dosage: 9 months Review: I was living for years with severe one sided muscle tension type headaches almost every month during my period. Once they started, nothing worked to ease the pain and they would last 2 to 3 days. Never thought they were migrains. Then someone gave me a maxalt to try. I now have a perscription and haven't had a headache since !!! Sometimes I have to take them daily for several days during my cycle - but the headaches are gone. Maxalt is expensive, but well worth every penny.

Sex: F
Age: 49.0 Side effects: a passing and minor tightening in my neck muscles, almost a signal for me that the drug is about to turn the tide so to speak. No adverse side effects however. Time taken and dosage: 7 years Review: This drug changed my life, made it possible to work a full day, made it possible to get back to a normal life. I had been taking Zomig in pill form, but it lost effectivness over a three year period. I have been taking Maxalt for a least seven years I think. It is the silver bullet iwas looking for. I now also take 20mg ofNortriptyline as a preventative measure. This has cut down my Maxalt use to almost nothing. If you are a female with hormonal related Migrane headaches i recomend talking to your provider about this preventative measure. I did not want to take "One more drug"... My doc talked me into giving it a try and for the first time in over twenty years I feel great, and am pain free all month long. Iguess there is something to be said for not giving up after all ;)

Age: 67.0 Side effects: No side effects - almost instant relief! Time taken and dosage: 6 months Review: I have taken Maxalt-MLT -10 mg about twice a month since January, 2009 - Since I relate most of my migraines to sinus problems, I have taken an OTC sinus pain reliever first. If my headache hasn't gone within an hour, I will take the Maxalt-MLT - It's an immediate pain reliever for me. When I take Maxalt-MLT FIRST, I have no need for the sinus tablets. Also, the minty taste goes away fast. It's been a miracle for me so far.

If I wait to long to us Maxalt , than my headache take about three days to clear while taking Maxalt 5mg twice a day with Tylenol between dosages I also used Gabapentin to help control the number of times I have headache and it reduced the number of migraine for two a week to about two or three a month. No side effects from Maxalt at all, but Gabapentin will have some side effects, but nothing I couldn’t deal with.

on April 10, 2009
Sex: M
Age: 26.0 Side effects: none at all Time taken and dosage: 1 years Review: In the past 2 years my migraines went from needing to lay down for the day in a cool quiet dark place to completely unbearable to the point where I'd consider suicide as the only alternative to rid myself of this indescribable pain. Still they only came once every couple months until suddenly I started to get them every day for weeks straight sometimes once every few hours. I couldn't function in the slightest and even now having Maxalt MLT it is still sometimes difficult to get to the pill and to open it but within 30 minutes of it dissolving I feel as if I never had a migraine! It is a miracle. I have been taking them for over a year now and sometimes such as lately have to take them every day for a couple weeks straight and they still work perfectly every time. The taste isn't bad either, tastes a little like an altoid, or one of those listerine dissolving mints strips. I'd reccommend Maxalt MLT to anyone who has been suffering from severe migraines.

Age: 52.0 Side effects: After taking the medication I experience a slight closing of the throat and the head pain usually gets worse for a few minutes before it gets better. But it erases all the migraines and the nausea except the hormonally based migraines; for those it gets rid of 90% of the pain - enough to function! Time taken and dosage: 10 years Review: Aspirin, Tylenol, Advil, Vicodin, Demerol, and Fentanyl can't touch my pain. I have been a migraineur for 40 years. This really works for me.

As long as I take it at the onset of a migraine, it works wonders. Unfortunately, I have just been told, by my pharmacy provider, Medco Health, that I no longer meet the requirements of coverage for this medication and will no longer be able to use it unless I want to pay full price for it. This is crazy, now I have to try something else which I'm not looking forward to. I just hope the new med, Imitrex, works in a similar fashion.

Age: 46.0 Side effects: I sometimes feel a little tired and light headed... very minor effect Time taken and dosage: 2 months Review: I have stress migraines compounded by hormonal variations. For a few days each month, I could not tolerate being in a room with an exposed light bulb. Commuting with oncoming headlights made me extremely sick to my stomach. I rarely see a physician but went in and pleaded for the new (young) doctor to do anything that would enable me to function. She prescribed Maxalt-MLt but said my 5 day long headache would probably not respond Still, I took 5mg any way (because 800 mg Ibuprofen earlier had no effect.) Within 20 minutes, I had no pain and the stomach upset was gone. I could drive comfortably and sit in the living room with my noisy teenagers. I have used it a few times since and it consistently STOPS a migraine within 30 minutes. AMAZING!

Age: 40.0 Side effects: None so far. Time taken and dosage: 1 days Review: I have been suffering from migrains for 5 years and never considered medication other than ibuprofren but finally I decided to take migraine medication because I get 1 migraine a week which diminishes the quality of life and doesn't allow me to work that day. That totals about 52 migrains a year. Although I was hesitant, I'm glad I tried it because I only it took it one time so far during the first sign of a migraine and it worked within 5 minutes. It was truly amazing. I'm going to try it again and hope that it continues to be the miracle drug everyone is talking about.

Age: 43.0 Side effects: none Time taken and dosage: 1 years Review: Been suffering with migraines for 20 something years. Started taking maxalt mlt 10 mg about a year ago. I love that this stuff. Totally kills my headache in about 30 minutes. The only problem is lately it seems like my headache is so persistent that I need to repeat doses every 8 hrs for a 24 hour period because the headache keeps coming back. The warning says do not take more than 3 in a 24 hour period but I just took my 4th in less than 24 hour. my headaches are so painful that I'm being stupid enough to take risks. I guess I need to try preventative maintenance now.

I get migraines several times a month and they're always a 2 day event including dizziness and vomiting. I decided to try this after having to call off work and it's worked pretty well. I've had 2 times it hasn't worked and both times I woke up with the migraine already in progress. The key is to take it right away when you feel one coming on and if it's still there in 2 hours take another.

Age: 26.0 Side effects: No markable side effects, however this medication seemed to only "postpone" the migraine. Time taken and dosage: 6 months Review: I was so pleased with my first dose which I took at bed time at the onset of a migraine. It completely eliminated the headache, however, I had another migraine the next day. And each time after that, it seems that the Maxalt only "postpones" the migraines, and I'll get them frequently. I have discontinued the use of Maxalt. Seems like I'm better off just enduring the migraine and getting it over with, rather than trying to treat a few in a row.

Typically Furinol was the only thing that helped, but over the past few months I developed a headache that stayed with me no matter what I tried, including Furinol. A new doctor prescribed Maxalt and it seems to do the trick. The fact that it dissolves also helps due to my severe stomach ulcer and bowel issues. I typically cannot take pain killers in tablet form without it completely tearing me up. As for Maxalts price, my insurance covered 6 pills for $15, and its mediocre insurance.

Age: 42.0 Side effects: None for me. Time taken and dosage: 3 years Review: Maxalt is designed to shorten the nerves around your brain to minimize the vibration to lessen the effects of a headache - NOT to get rid of it. It is NOT a narcotic, and not intended to give those effects. You are supposed to take it as soon as you feel a headache (Aura) coming on, and if you do, like me, you will (hopefully) barely feel any different than normal. For me, this drug , along with Topomax (75mg twice daily) keeps me off floor. Before these drugs, I went through everything in the books to no effect. I've had migranes since I was 16 and my doctors think that another few months on Topomax and I might be able to start to go off of it and be headache free!

My doctor perscibed this drug when I told her I'd had 3 migrains in my entire life. The ones that make you want to vomit and even after the headahce is gone it feles like you have been hit in the head with a hammer. So the doctor gave me Maxalt MLT 10 mg and 4 boxes. Seems a little much for a person who has only had a few of those. But after realizing it gets rid of dizziness and headaches asprin just can't get rid of. I will swear by this drug! It takes an hour to get rid of a killer heachahe. Look foward to finding a way to buy this without a perscription.

Age: 28.0 Side effects: Initially when I started on Maxalt, I felt restless and it was much like a caffeine high that lasted an hour or so, but that has been replaced with a "wiped out" feeling. Head feels a bit cloudy sometimes, but these effects are acceptable to me. Time taken and dosage: 5 years Review: I'd say 80% of the time Maxalt works great for me. But I've started getting headaches more frequently and Maxalt has failed a few times. The most recent one, I took the pill in the morning, and it didn't work. Then I took another one later that day before bedtime, and it worked. Not sure if all my headaches are actually migraines or a combination of muscle spasms in my neck and shoulder causing migraine-like pain and tension headaches, but Maxalt seems to work the majority of the time. Other times a little coffee helps with some Tylenol. (I don't drink coffee on a regular basis, so this works sometimes for me.)

Age: 48.0 Side effects: Dry mouth feels 'puffy' after I've taken it. Feel nicely drowsy and unbothered. Time taken and dosage: 2 years Review: It is fantastic that this pill does take away the pain for me. I was used to regular (once or twice a month) two day shut-in-a-dark-room, sick and unable to take the pain sessions, and now I can enjoy myself, about half an hour after taking it. I did quite like th slightly 'out of it' feeling it gave me, though now like this less as I feel it is unreality. If I push it e.g. go to work and get stressed teaching,I need more pills and the migraine just goes on in the background in a horrible way. I am a bit worried about long term effects as I now regularly take Maxalt.Usually on weekends it works great but recently had unexpected migraine attacks coming on - maybe they getting more frequent? THis is the second this week! I want to reach for the pills - but I do sometimes get strange cramp/ spasm from chest to stomach pains that I didn't have before and wonder what they are. I hope I can go on taking MAxalt as they do work wonders for the pain like no other pill has.

These sensations are transient and do not trouble me. Time taken and dosage: 2 years Review: Usually works very well as long as I take it at the very first signs of a migraine coming on (if I wait until the pain has arrived it's not typically so helpful). The MLT tab works much more effectively and much faster for me than the regular solid pill.

I took the pill while I was driving and before I even got to work the headache was gone. Sometimes you will need the second pill within the 24hr period but most of the time I don't. They are pretty expensive. (It costs me $55 for 6 pills with insurance). Overall highly recommended. One thing to note though, I found an article on www.webmd.com that taking migraine medicine and an SSRI can cause serotonin syndrome, which can be life threatening.

Age: 37.0 Side effects: Slight drowsiness, tingling in jaw area when tasting something immediately after drug starts taking effect. Time taken and dosage: 1.5 years Review: This is by far my drug of choice when I get a migraine. I've tried all triptans on the market, this one works the fastest and best for me with the fewest side effects. I like that you can take 3 in 24 hrs, when I get a really bad migraine it often last for several days and keeps coming back. Each dose of Maxalt usually takes the pain away for at least 5-6 hours at a time. Now when it's mild one and I catch it early, one Maxalt will do the trick. If you really want relief from chronic migraines and want to solve the problem at the source, see an Atlas Orthagonal Chiropracter and a Neuromuscular Dentist if you have had extensive dental work done and feel your bite may be off. I suffered horribly for a year and all the neurologists would do was give me drugs. I finally found the answers myself and wish I had of known sooner how to get to the source of the migraines. It's worth checking out if no one else is really helping you. It's changed my life and very quickly.

Age: 23.0 Side effects: slight sleepiness Time taken and dosage: 2 years Review: This drug works so fast! I take it, lie down for about 20-30 minutes, and then am able to wake up a new person (no headache). This is nothing like the other drugs that make you want to throw up or dizzy. Works so well, and I really like the dissolving pills. Highly recommended.

Age: 52.0 Side effects: I had to give it a 3 because of the cost. Boy does it work, but when you have two headaches a day there is no way you can afford it. So I'm only lucky when I can afford it. Otherwise I have to suffer one of the headaches and take darvacet for the evening headache. That's a killer everyday now for a month. Usually the bouts of headackes only last me a few weeks and they are less intense. Then I can use maxalt when I need them. Wish they would lower the price. Time taken and dosage: 30 days Review:

Age: 30.0 Side effects: Time taken and dosage: 6 months Review: Maxalt is absolutely the real deal. I've used it twice in the six months since I asked for some kind of migraine prescription, and it has absolutely saved 4 days of my life that I would have lost to aura vision, pounding headaches, and light sensitivity. I carry it around with me all the time. Last night I took it right when I noticed vision effects -- this was a big one, with

Age: 41.0 Side effects: none Time taken and dosage: 21 months Review: I have been trying for decades to find a medication for my frequent migraines. This is the only medicine to work. It has changed my life - I can work, socialize, make plans and carry them through. I still can get frequent migraines, especially when I have my period, but Maxalt zaps them completely out of my system within 1 hour, if not sooner. Rarely do I have to even take a 2nd dose. I do take Maxalt with 800 mg ibuprofen at the same time (my doctor said that was fine) and the combination does the trick. Where was this stuff all of my life?

Age: 41.0 Side effects: Max-Alt makes you tired. Max-Alt is expensive since it's a brand name, but all migraine sufferers know they would pay anything to get rid of a migraine. Time taken and dosage: 5 years Review: Max-Alt works within 45 minutes, unlike Imitrex which could take up to 4 hours and still not work.Max-Alt is a miracle drug and if you haven't used it on your migraines yet, you've been suffering for no reason - ask your doctor for Max-Alt, spend the money, you'll wonder why you waited so long.

Age: 33.0 Side effects: A little bit of tiredness / fuzziness but not nearly as bad as Zomig and much more effective at ridding migraine than Imitrex. Very fast relief, too, due to rapid disinitegration. Time taken and dosage: 2 years Review: I need the rapid disintegration tab due to severe nausea during full-blown migraine. This is a miracle and more effective than the zomig rapid tab.

It literally went away in 15 minutes. I could see so clearly and there was no pain. Later, the pressure went away as well. It's been 7 hours and it hasn't returned! It tastes bad, though! But, I'm looking forward to returning to work tomorrow!!

Age: 50.0 Side effects: Drowsiness; slight sore throat - only noticable when swallowing food or drink; sometimes slight feeling of jaw tightness Time taken and dosage: 3 years Review: Maxalt has been wonderful for me, relieving unbearable pain. I take 10 mg, and one dose so far for each migraine has been enough. (Although I may have to take another the next day.) Maxalt works almost all of the time and within 40 minutes. When it doesn't work, I find that eating something often helps jump-start it. Maxalt has kept me out of the ER. Don't care for strong mint-like taste, though. It's very expensive, too. Bless the people who have developed this medication.
