    I have tried many other drugs, but none give the relief as quickly and fully as Maxhalt does. I have been using it for several years now and would not like to be without.

    I had been suffering from incapacitating "sinus headaches" on the first day of my period for years. I was prescribed diuretics, muscle relaxers, barbituates, and have tried every over-the- counter medication available with no relief.

    Maxalt is the only drug that has worked for me. I also don't have as much nausea if I take it right away. I've been suffering from migraines since I was 5 or 6 (53 now) and this is a miracle for me.

    I have been using Maxalt with great success for about 3 years. Usually within 15 to 45 mins. the pain is under control. Occasionally, perhaps once a year it will not be effective, but that is because I do not take it as soon as I should. It is a wonderful medication for relieving my migraines. I only wish the doctors would have recommended it sooner as I suffered many years before learning about t ... Show Full Comment
