User Comments about Maxalt-MLT
24 Oct 2012 I can now manage migraines in combination with Syndol so that I can continue to function, even though I feel very sleepy and heavy sometimes. This is far and away better than being bedridden in agony and vomiting for up to 3 days! I have some concerns about the long term possible side effects.

20 May 2010 I only take Maxalt when the migraine is so severe I can not see straight. I do not like a lot of the side effects but a lot of the times it will dull the pain to where I can function again.

17 Dec 2009 Maxalt-MLT wipes out my migraines and is very easy to take. Since taking Maxalt I am able to stop my migraines before they start.

02 Jul 2009 It is very effective if I take it right when the migraine is beginning, but if I wait too long, I feel that the Maxalt almost intensifies the migraine (inducing vomiting, etc.)
