Comment:
Maxlt melt is easy to use but generic too hard to open, especially in middle of night. Excellent response usually within 30 minutes. Only medication that has ever worked for me.

Comment:
The generic brand of this medication is hard to open. When I need this, it is frustrating to deal with getting the pill out of the packaging. I often find myself taking a knife to the blister pack This is not an easy task on a good day, let alone when I have a migraine

Comment:
If I take the treatment at the very first signs of a migraine it works very well. However have had some palpitations occasionally after taking the medication. However it soon goes off. Anyone else had this side effect
