questions on maxalt haven't taken yet, neurologist gave samples,
Alice here. I have been out of work for a few months. the migraines were getting so bad and it had taken a toll on me. stress is a factor as lack of sleep (still) The dr gave me Maxlt and wondered about side-effects as i do not tolerate a lot of meds. thanks!
Alice,
Maxalt is good for some, but the side effects I had were tightening in chest and throat, some problems breathing, nausea, and tiredness. So, I couldn't take it, along with all other Triptans.
I had to quit work too. It really sucks! I have been turned down for disability 2x, but my husband is being supportive. Thank God!
I have to have my sleep, and sometimes, with a migraine, I need to have something to help me sleep. Phenergan is great because it relieves nausea with a migraine, and I lie down with a cold-pack on my head. This helps when I don't want to take anymore drugs. I take Midrin, and Aleive, and Darvocet. I rotate these so I don't get the MOH (migraine overuse headache) Which happens to me a lot. I hope you find something that helps. It's really hard I know.
Take care. Good luck.
Denise

Hi, I don't have a lot of side effects to medications, but I do like the Maxalt, especially the dissolvable tablet. Don't have to worry about losing it to nausea. I've found for me, Maxalt works well for stress-triggered migraines, better than any of the triptans I've used.
Good luck,
