Q: diagnosed today with migraines, prescribed maxalt-mlt - how long until relief of symptoms

I am a sufferer who has been diagnosed for the last 5 years as headache pain due to physical muscle stress in my back.  No one ever even suggested migraines until today, even though my symptoms are textbook.  Maxalt - MLT was prescribed.  How long after taking a 10 mg tablet should I notice relief.

Usually within 30 minutes and rarely need to take more than one to get relief. Best benefit is it doesn't make you drowsy!! It is my favorite migraine medicine so far.
