| 5 | Migraines | This medicine makes me feel as if I am drunk. It makes limbs rubbery, and makes me a little sleepy. | The side effects are worth it. My migraine goes away about 15 minutes after taking. | F | 24 | 2 months | 1/19/2007 | 5 | Severe Migranes | My cheeks became sore/ numb and i experianced limb fatigue. I also felt alittle "funny" like i was spaced out | I suffered from severe migranes for 2.5 years and have tried several different migrane medicines and none worked. the only thing that they gave me that worked was narcotics. I was given CT scans and an MRI and they never figured out what was wrong. Then they stopped for about 1.5 years and started back up 6 months ago. The Maxalt actually helped alot and eliminated the migrane and it seldomly reaccured that day. | F | 19 | 3 weeks | 1/18/2007 | 5 | Migraine | Tired feeling | Been a Migraine sufferer all my life. Rotate Amerge and Maxalt. If caught early Maxalt can kill a Migraine within one hour. | M | 59 | 2 years | 1/11/2007 | 5 | yes | none feel great | very satisfactory | F | 54 | 2 days | 1/7/2007 | 5 | migrain | drowsiness after taking | Life saver, Having 10-15 headaches a month. Nothing worked, asprin, motrin, tylenol #3(painkillers do not work) Maxalt greatly improved the qual;ity of my life. | M | 52 | 4 days | 12/27/2006 | 5 | Migraines | Slight light headedness, frequent urination for about 2 hours after taking this medication. | I am very satisfied with Maxalt-I have been on Imitrex and Zomig in the past and find that this works the best for me. | F | 32 | | 11/21/2006 | 5 | migraines | Sore neck. Not sure if it is the maxalt or the migraine that causes the sore neck. I do get very tired and feel wiped out but I think that is also the migraine not the meds. | Maxalt is the best medicine I've taken for migraines. The side effects are minimal and I can continue to work especially if I take it right away. I find I need to take two advil liqui-gels and that is the perfect combination to kill off the migraine. | F | 36 | 5 years | 11/18/2006 | 5 | Migraine | Numbness in tongue, fingers and toes. Fuzzy feeling. | Works on almost all my migraines excluding the ones that come on during the night. | F | 26 | 2 years | 8/28/2006 | 5 | for migraines | none | awesome! i love it! works great! forget about asprin, etc. use maxalt!!! don't wait it's worth it! | F | 28 | 5 months | 8/18/2006 | 5 | F | 33 | 1 years | 7/28/2006 | 5 | migrane | For the last 4 yrs, I´ve been taking in average about 1 pill / week. In the last 5 months I started to feel some anxiety and sometimes difficulty to breath. I dont know if this could be a side effect of the medicine | This is the only medicine that has worked for me after 40 yrs suffering with the headaches. I have tried various medications and none worked. | M | 59 | 4 years | 7/27/2006 | 5 | Horrible Migraines | Very tired. Mouth tingles when I first consume anything after taking medicine. Wish it was more affordable. | I love this. Works quicker than Imitrex & Amerge. I believe after all the years of taking Imitrex, my body became used to it. I have to take 2 doses of Imitrex for it to work. Sometimes 2 of Amerge as well. Maxalt seems to do the trick in 1 dose. I feel a bit high/sleepy but that is so much better than being in pain and sick to my stomach! | F | 41 | 2 years | 6/14/2006 | 5 | Migraine | Tingling in extremities, slight high feeling. | The only drug that will get rid of a migraine completely for me. Before using Maxalt, I suffered from debilitating migraines an average of 4 to 5 times a week. Maxalt has allowed me 9 extra days a month of a normal life. I continue to look for other solutions though as I am greatly concerned with long term usage of this drug. | M | 30 | 6 months | 6/13/2006 | 5 | Migraine | my arms and legs get a very slight heavy achey feeling but to me it is a sign that it is working. Better than dealing with a migraine and nausea. | I have taken maxalt, zomig, amerge and imitrex and I am lucky cuz they all work great. | F | 25 | 1.5 years | 5/31/2006 | 5 | Migrane | None | I've suffered of migrane for 20 years. Maxalt is basically the only thing that really makes it go away. In Italy it is VERY Expensive, but the alternative is laying in bed, in the dark and trying not to vomit. Taking it almost once a week/ten days I'm a bit afraid of the long time side effects... | M | | 5/30/2006 | 5 | Migraines | Feel a bit tired after taking it, but it's worth it! | Had migraines for the past 41 years. Had given up until I came across this. It is definitely a miracle for me. It is expensive. Four dollars per headache doesn't seem like much until you have five headaches per week. | F | 48 | 14 days | 5/16/2006 | 5 | migraine | drowsiness | Works well if use is kept to a minimum. The more i use it, the less well it works. So i stick it through the small ones and use it for the large ones. More than once a week doesnt work well. Will cause rebound, especially if used with painkillers (tylenol et al.) | M | 19 | 1 years | 4/24/2006 | 5 | migraine headaches | Drowsiness; Sensitivity to heat in extremities.(mild) | This is the only triptan that has worked for me. I have suffered from migraines since the age of nine, and have tried various medications. The only medication that I like as well or better is Fiorinal with codeine. | F | 40 | 3 years | 3/31/2006 | 5 | migraines | none | It's my miracle medicine. I don't need it often. When I do I am so grateful I have it. Relief comes within 2 hours and feeling a lot better lasts 24 hours. Usually then have just usual minor headaches and no need for more Maxalt. However could this be related to my chest pains which are eluding a diagnosis/cause? | F | 62 | 8 years | 3/25/2006 | 5 | migraine headaches | sometimes a slight "fuzzy" feeling, but not very often. Its a small price to pay for the quick results | This is the most amazing migraine med I have ever taken. It usually works for me within 1/2 hour. What I especially like is that most of the time, not only does it get rid of the migraine, but I am able to function well and continue with my day, | F | 48 | 2 years | 1/22/2006 |
