Gets rid of my headache completely about 90% of the time. | F | 42 | 3 years | 12/13/2007 | 5 | Migrains | Sleepy | Best medice they have made. works allot of the time . take as soon as your headache starts . do'nt wait for ot to get worse.great | 41 | 5 weeks | 12/10/2007 | 4 | severe migraines | dry mouth,fatigue,achy joints,listless | usually takes migraine away, often requires 2 doses, which is good after 38 years of fighting migraines. | F | 58 | 6 days | 12/8/2007 | 4 | migraine | Nausea, I seriously thought I was going to hurl. Lots of gas which made my stomach hurt even more. It went away after about 3 hours. | It got rid of most of my migraine | F | 30 | 1 days | 11/15/2007 | 5 | migraine | sometimes sleepiness | A miracle drug for my migraines. I take one dose, and if my migraine isn't gone in two hours I take a second dose. Although sometimes that second dose is required, Maxalt has never failed to relieve my migraine. Before I would sometimes suffer for days. I only developed migraines for the first time about five years ago and they come every month like clockwork as part of PMS. | F | 48 | 2 years | 11/8/2007 | 4 | severe migraine | drugged up, watery red eyes, pain in my muscles, my memory is blocked and very slow at making decisions. Fell like a walking zombie. etc | it gets rid of my migraine headaches, the only drug or pills that works | F | 48 | 4 years | 11/7/2007 | 5 | Migraine Headaches | None for me. | 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! | M | 42 | 3 years | 9/12/2007 | 5 | Common Migraine | None, Zero, Ziltch. | I'm about 6-7 doses in, and so far its killed every headache i've had. I dont know why I suffered for so long. This medication has dramatically improved my quality of life. | M | 30 | 30 days | 8/27/2007 | 4 | migranes | None | This works great for Migranes when I take them at the beginning of any pain. One seems to always do the trick although I fear is I may be taking too many. Maybe I'm just under more stress now than I've been in the past. | M | 32 | 6 months | 8/27/2007 | 4 | miagraines | sleepiness--although not as bad as other anti-migraine pills | As long as I take it early enough during a migraine, it really helps. Sometimes I have to take a second one when the migraine comes back 4 hours later. | F | 35 | 1 years | 7/29/2007 | 5 | Head ache/ Inner ear infedction | NONE | Not only did this drug get rid of the headache I'd had for a week, I later found that it also got rid of dizziness. 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. | F | 32 | 9 times | 6/27/2007 | 2 | migraines | tightening of throat,jaw tingling, TIRED, felt like my head is going to explode | i don't like it!! | F | 19 | 10 days | 6/14/2007 | 5 | migraine | I get tired but it works as long as I catch it in time. I seem to feel a bit "loopy" or drunk, sometimes more than others. | I have got bad headaches since I was a kid. In the past 5 years I have tried multiple headache remedies with very little success, I have been taking maxalt for approx 2 years and it has worked as long as I took it in time. Once the headache is here full strength then it does me NO good at all. | M | 40 | 2 years | 6/7/2007 | 4 | Migraines | Weakness, feeling hung over, exhaustion | It is a great drug to take when you feel a migraine attack coming on. | F | 26 | 3 months | 6/7/2007 | 5 | Migraine | None | I've been taking Maxalt in addiition to Topomax and atenolol for maintenance for migraines I've had all my life, and it works for me 98% of the time. Sometimes I need to take 2, but that always does the job for me. Only complaint is that it's super expensive, even with insurance. | F | 30 | 5 years | 5/9/2007 | 4 | Migraines | 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. | 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.) | F | 28 | 5 years | 4/30/2007 | 2 | migraines | Realy bad sore throat, sinus problesm | I have been taking the max alt for a few weeks now. The first time I took it I got a sore throat. But for me that was better than the headaches. But not not only do I get the sore throat I am now getting sinus problems. I went to the er last night and they said there was no infection jst the swelling and pressure. So the longer I take it the more side effects I see. | F | 25 | 4 weeks | 4/3/2007 | 5 | migraine | none | Maxalt-MLT is better than any other drugs for migraines. | F | 43 | 4 days | 3/23/2007 | 5 | migraine | 4 years not 4 days from previous | F | 43 | 4 years | 3/23/2007 |
