Migraine
"Maxalt-MLT has been the only migraine medication that didn&#039;t give me most of the common side effects. My migraines don&#039;t often come with warning signs, like the &quot;auras.&quot; My left temple just starts to throb, and I know I have about an hour before the pain has me hiding in the dark, wishing my skull would just go ahead and split open. Maxalt works within the hour (at least to head off the really awful pain - sometimes I need to take another one in a few hours to completely erase the headache), and I can get on with my day. The only side effect I&#039;ve ever noticed is if I take one and then lie down, I&#039;ll sleep for a couple hours. But if I&#039;m up and around or out and about, I can keep going just fine. But I can say the same thing about Benadryl."
