4 | | 8/21/2008 | 2 | Treat severe migraines | No markable side effects, however this medication seemed to only "postpone" the migraine. | 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. | F | 26 | 6 months | 8/16/2008 | 5 | migraines | F | 46 | 2 months | 8/13/2008 | 5 | migraines | soreness in jaw when taking effect. | i love it. if i take it at the onset of the migraine it helps 9 times out of 10. does not help if i have mistaken a sinus or other headache for a migraine. i have used both meltable and regular and both work great for my migraines. | F | 25 | 3 years | 6/28/2008 | 5 | migraines | About the worst side effect that I have is that after the medication kicks in, I start feeling light headed, but if I lay down and take a nap for about 45 min to a hour, I wake up without a migraine and feeling better overall. | I LOVE THIS STUFF! And where I live, it's $30.00 a pill without ins, but my husband and I find a way to keep this stuff on head cause it's a necessity. | F | 28 | 7 years | 6/26/2008 | 5 | migraine headaches | Just makes me a little light-headed and sometimes sleepy. | I started getting migraines about every three weeks and Ibuprofen wasn't cutting it anymore. I'm not big on taking a lot of medicine but it's the only thing I've found that works on my migraines. | F | 38 | 6 months | 6/26/2008 | 4 | Migraine | Muscle spasms in stomach, legs, chest. Heart palpitations. | Sometimes the side effects are a bit scary, but the headache would land me in the hospital. It takes 40+ min. to work. I break the orally disintegrating tablet into pieces and take as little as I can get away with to relieve the headache. | F | 58 | 5 years | 6/20/2008 | 5 | Migraines | It will usually make my migraines go away 9 times out of 10. Aside from occassional drowsiness and getting a little lightheaded I have no complaints. I thank my lucky stars for it. I could NOT do without it!!!!LOVE MY MAXALT!!! | Very Pricy. Was great when i had dual coverage and I didn't have to pay for it but @ $10.00 a pill it get's to be pretty expensive. I need at least 4-6 pills a month. | F | 38 | 4 years | 6/17/2008 | 4 | Migraine | Tightness in my chest and throat for hours after. Really tired after I take it for a while. | Maxalt works great for the most part. Sometimes I have to take 2. It isn't as effective as imitrex injections but a lot less traumatic and the side affects are not as bad. | M | 30 | 1 years | 6/9/2008 | 5 | migranes | I get to sleep great, but will wake up a couple of hours later with insomnia. | I just recently started having migranes and this drug is wonderful! Gets rid of the migrane in about 40 minutes or so. I love it. | F | 37 | 2 weeks | 6/8/2008 | 1 | Migranes | none this drug did not work at all for me | I would not take this even for a regular headache | F | 45 | | 4/27/2008 | 5 | severe migraine headache | A little digestive problem | Being a migraine sufferer for 30 years, I found this medicine incredibly amazing, resulting with very fast relief. It is great. | F | 51 | 2 days | 4/9/2008 | 5 | Migraines | Usually experience mild vertigo and less often (but occasionally) nausea. | It gets rid of the horrible pain and that's what counts. And to be fair, I don't know if the side effects I experience are from the medication or just "left over" from the migraine itself. | F | 25 | 5 years | 4/2/2008 | 3 | classic migraine (w/aura) | Relieved the aura symptoms within 10 minutes, still have slight headache, but didn't develop into severe pain. Still have slight blurry/blind spot in vision on side where aura appears. | F | 36 | 1 days | 4/2/2008 | 1 | Migraines | Tightness of throat and chest | Scary as hell. Thought I was having a heart attack. Did little to alleviate migraine symptoms. Never taking this one again. | M | 20 | 2 weeks | 3/20/2008 | 5 | migraine headaches | none | It is a wonderful drug. the best one I have taken Does wonders for migrains. | F | 41 | 7 months | 3/8/2008 | 4 | Migraine, severe sinus headaches | None. Maybe a little drowsiness but less then an antihistamine. | I was diagnosed with migraines at age 5 and have delt with them most of my life. 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. | F | 24 | 7 days | 3/8/2008 | 3 | Migraines | My muscles spasm, hands shake, feel sleepy, I feel cold, and am usually in extreme pain for about 20 minutes... It actually hurts to cry. | I'm always incredibly uncomfortable when I take it, but I always wake up migraine-free. It's the only thing that works for me. I'd rather be in 20 minutes of pain than 2 days of it. | F | 18 | 5 years | 3/7/2008 | 1 | Headaches | Stiff neck, dizziness, and an increased headache. | F | 23 | 1 days | 3/4/2008 | 5 | regular cluster headaches | I take it at night before a headache (since mine a triggered by a regular unavoidable event) and may sleep a tiny less well. No real problem. | The joy - really - joy to wake up without a headache is a huge gift. Once in a while I need one the next day but it works fast when I do. | F | 59 | 9 months | 2/22/2008 |
