| 5 | migraine | None | Works like a charm! So glad I found it. | F | 52 | 10 mg 1X day | 7/22/2011 | 5 | migraine | if i take i bath or just wash my hands after i have taken maxalt i have a burning feeling on the edge of my fingers or toes during the contact with water even if the water it's very cold. | wonder drug i have been suffering from severe migraine attacks since i was 15 years old in some occasions i have thought of putting an end in my life during a migraine because of the severe pain and nausea i was usually sick for 13 to 72 hours and many times i was passed out my neurologist only aloud me to take maximum 9 dissolving pills per month my migraines are gone in within the first 30 min if i let my self suffering a long time before i finally get the pill then my pain and nausea gets worse in the begging and then i have to wait 1 to 2 hours before all the symptoms are gone i felt like i was some how disabled and now i am not i just hope that i wont have to deal with problems like heart disease in the future | F | 40 | 6 years 10mg 4X M | 6/21/2011 | 5 | Migraine | Drowsy feeling, tiredness and lethargic for a few hours after taking. Also frequent urination. | I've taken almost every medication on the market and this is the only one that actually helps nearly every time. Almost never need a second dose. Short term side effects outweigh the migraine. I wonder what the long term side effects are. | M | 38 | 6 years 5mg 1X AN | 5/10/2011 | 5 | Migraines | dry mouth | A wonder drug. It is the only drug that stops my migraines within 30 minutes. Other migraine medicine doesn't compare to Maxalt-MLT. | F | 47 | 2 years 10 mg 1X AN | 4/22/2011 | 5 | migraine headaches | mild fatigue...usually clears headache within 30 minutes and occasionally will cause sleep for about one hour.........face tingling, but have pinpointed this reaction only when pain is not true migraine but instead tension from occipital nerve inflammation | only migraine med that has worked with minimal side effects - GREAT med for a life long migraine sufferer | F | 37 | 2 years 10 mg 1X day | 4/20/2011 | 5 | Migraines | Truly a miracle for my migraines. Within 30 minutes of dosage the migraine is gone. I just need to sleep for about an hour and then I am fine. Nothing worked before, tried everything. It's expensive if your insurance doesn't cover it but the drug company was extremely generous with their patient assistance program and gave me a 2 year prescription at no cost till I had insurance that covered it. | F | 49 | 6 years 10mg 1X AN | 4/13/2011 | 5 | Cluster migraine with aura | Tightness in throat (similar to when you are trying to hold back tears), frequent urination, grogginess, no energy | the side effects are uncomfortable but I would take them tripled over one of my migraines any day. Maxalt kicks my butt, but it knocks the migraine pain out before it can begin. Love it, always have it on me just in case. Oh- I also found that 800mg ibuprofen helps those side effects some. | F | 35 | 2 times 10mg 1X AN | 4/4/2011 | 5 | migraines | a little drowzy and tired | Works so well, within the hour, but I always wait to long before I take it. | F | 44 | 5 years 10 3X day | 3/24/2011 | 5 | Migraines | I have not experienced any side effects from this medication. I expected to be somewhat tired, but if anything, I have more energy since I become migraine free so quickly. | I absolutely love this medication. Takes an hour to work, but it is a miracle medication. | F | 43 | 2 years 10 mG 1X day | 3/15/2011 | 5 | migraine headache | Mild weakness, mild tiredness | It is amazing, this drug is wonderful. Migraines gone wihtin 30 minutes - awesome! Everytime I take it I say to myself, "this is a super drug" has helped me so much. | F | 28 | 5 years 10 mg 1X AN | 3/11/2011 | 5 | Migraines | Nothing major, alittle sleeping the next day, better than a migraine! | I have suffered from migraines for five years now and they get worse with age I'm starting to notice, Maxalt saved my life, i have not been able to live a normal life in about a year. I get migraines almost everyday. A little sleeping the next day but nothing major, I use to take 8 to 12 tylenol or ibpro everyday so imagine how my body felt, Im down to 2-4 a day now thanks to Maxalt. Kind of expensive but here's a helpful tip, order them from kanada. I get 40-10mg Maxalt for $400, which is better then paying $400 for 12-10mg Maxalt at CVS! I hope Maxalt works for you as well as it has for me. | M | 24 | 6 months 10mg 1X day | 2/16/2011 | 5 | Migraines | Sometimes feel tired, but not as tired as an untreated migraine attack used to leave me. | When taken promptly I find the pain goes within an hour and even if I delay taking it the migraine is gone within two hours. The quicker I take it, the better I feel, almost 100%; the longer I leave it and the migraine sets in, then I feel tired for hours afterwards. | F | 58 | 10 years 1X W | 2/4/2011 | 5 | Migraines | minor fatigue | Tried every other drug for migraines and Maxalt is the only thing that helps me. Almost always my migraine is gone within a half hour! | F | 24 | 2 years 10mg 1X AN | 12/15/2010 | 5 | migraine | heavy aching arms, drowsy drugged feeling | This is the only medicine that stops my migraine, usually within half an hour. Chest pain once. | F | 60 | 2 years 30mg 2X W | 12/12/2010 | 5 | migrane | nothing major. Maybe a slight fuzzy feeling in my head. | Works in 30 minutes for me, then migrane is gone. I like to take this as infrequently as possible (maybe 1 pill every 4 to 6 weeks), but it really works when I get a major migrane. | M | 36 | 1 years 10mg 1X AN | 11/29/2010 | 5 | Migraines | Frequent urination, sleepy | Maxalt has helped me a great deal - rather than laying in bed completely out of commission when I'm having a migraine, this medicine makes it so that I can feel better and continue to be productive, or at least continue with my day. It does make me feel tired or sleepy but the positives outweigh the negatives. | F | 23 | 2 years 10 1X AN | 11/19/2010 | 5 | migraines | I occasionally have some very mild tingling in the head (not unpleasant), and I usually sleep for an hour or so after taking it. | This medication isn't for everyone, but it works beautifully for me. You have to take it quickly once you start getting symptoms (for me, the symptoms are a headache and queasiness), or it won't work. I usually take the dissolving tablet, and then lie down in a darkened room. When it works (which is most of the time), it's like magic: I wake up with NO headache at all. The individual packets come in a little plastic carrying case, and I keep one of those cases with me at all times. It's been a godsend. | F | 57 | 2 years 10 mg 1X AN | 9/24/2010 | 5 | migraines | none | It works but only if you take it as soon as the migraine starts,if you wait too long it will not work. Usually takes an hour to relieve symptoms. I take it and lay down for an hour and I feel better. | F | 50 | 4 years 10mg 1X AN | 9/9/2010 | 5 | Migraines | Tired at times or get the tingling feeling at others in head/face | LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!!! Some relief! Side effects are tolerable and enjoyable- migraines arent. Ever. | F | 44 | 12 months 10mg 1X AN | 5/24/2010 | 5 | Migraines | Only my migraine going away! | I LOVE this med! I almost never need 2 for one headache. I always take it at the very start of a migraine and it works instantly. Once, I woke up with a migraine on the first day of school and was to work as a substitute teacher. I stopped at the pharmacy to get some on my way to work and took on and by the time I was at the the school, I felt 95% better. I could rave about this medication forever. | F | 26 | 7 years 10 mg 1X day | 5/5/2010 |
