I began having migraines about a year ago. I began seeing a neurologist about the problem just a few months ago. I get migraines 1-2 times a month. So my doctor gave me a couple of samples of different medicines that typically help with migraines. One of the samples I received from my doctor was Maxalt. I have taken this medication on two different occasions. Both times I took it I had relief from my migraines. My doctor instructed me to take it once my aura set in. Maxalt helped both times with relieving me of the intensity of my migraines, and also allowing me to sleep. Both times I went straight to bed after taking Maxalt as I knew it would make me drowsy. Both times I woke up with my migraine either completely gone or mostly gone. I would recommend someone suffering with migraines to ask their doctor about taking Maxalt.
