I have tried other medications for my tension migraine. Maxalt helped for some time, but recently has not been efective. I tried Alsuma for the very first time and within minutes I felt some relief. I no longer feel nauseated. Anyone who suffers from migraines know how awful that nauseous feeling can be. I will definitely use this from now on.
