Migraine
"I&#039;ve had migraines since I was 11 and was first prescribed Maxalt when I was 17. It&#039;s wonderful. I take it as soon as I start to notice the signs of a migraine and about 70% of the time the first dose does the job, within an hour or less. Occasionally I take a second dose if the symptoms haven&#039;t gone after 2-3 hours. Very occasionally it doesn&#039;t work at all. It has improved my life enormously. I evangelize about it. My migraines used to last up to 3 days - now I get a unkillable one only once or twice a year. Side effects for me are (as someone else has mentioned) one sneeze within a few minutes of taking it, a little drowsiness and eventually a little euphoria (though maybe that&#039;s a rational response to knowing the migraine has gone)."
