Migraine
"I&#039;ve had ever-worsening migraines since I was in my 40&#039;s (I&#039;m now 73).  When they started, all that was available were drugs like Fiorinal and other mind-scrambling drugs.  Finally, the triptans came along and saved my life.  I started with Imitrex and tried the various other triptans, but Maxalt was the most effective.  I would like to share one important observation: When I first started taking triptans, I had very few side effects, and was able to function at a high-level job, run home with kids, etc.  HOWEVER, as I got older, I realized that side-effects emerged which have only gotten stronger over time. e.g. fogginess, sleepiness, nausea, etc. -- so be aware that side-effects can increase with age. Still, Maxalt is a life-saver."
