This medication worked for me at first, but I seemed to build up a tolerance to it after a while.

Comment:
The taste is a bit bad, but since it's quick desolving, it's over quickly. It helps me in a matter of minutes if I catch it at the beginning of the migraine. Would recommend to someone with migraines, especially helpful with the light sensativity and nausea.

Comment:
Easy tp take, except for the aftertaste. It takes several hours for it to kick in, but it does work. Its not effective unless you take it at the start of the migrane; taking it in the middle will not help you at all.

LOVE IT. It doesn't do anything if the headache isn't a migraine, but when a bad migraine hits, this gets rid of it fairly quickly. It tends to make me a bit drowsy after I take it, but it's worth it to be rid of the migraine

I have found that in most of my migraine attacks Maxalt-MLT has work wonderful for me. It is the most easiest and convenient medication I have taken for my migraine. It has been a life safer for me when the attacks have come on at work and there is no need for water to ingest the tablet; just let it dissolve on your tongue and let it do its job! JUST WONDERFUL
