Maxalt-MLT

Hello all,
The last time I visited my Dr., I left with three sample abortive medicines. Imitrex tablets, one thing I can't remember the name of. THe imitrex, I have no idea if it worked, my symptoms seem to keep going as normal.
The second one left me dizzy and confused for hours...not good.
He also gave me Maxalt-MLT, 10mg. This tablet is one that dissolves on your tongue. I think it worked. My headache was gone within minutes. I felt the CH creepin' in, took the tablet and no less than 10 minutes later, was totally normal.
Anyone else tried this?
I have one more tablet and will try it again when I need to.

My Dr brought them home for me. I guess they are like Imitrex in that you can use 2 per day.
they seemed to work OK for me.
I have yet to try injectable, so thus far this stuff has worked best of this type for me.

You've overstayed your welcome since the day we met but it doesn't seem to matter to you. No medications are your master, nothing makes you fret, it's a helpless feeling having nothing I can do

Mlt is the halfway house between pills and injections.
I was prescibed them last year - they did catch some headaches, not all and one they didn't led to the worst headache I've ever had (that was the last time I took it).
Found 02 and clustermasx better at the aborts. Didn't like the limits of the Maxalts in timescales (only 2 per day?) but useful tool for getting 6-8 hours sleep.
Ouch Uk also pushed Frovatriptan on the phone to me as it's a longer half life than Maxalt Melts but is only available as a pill, but since I discovered Clusterbusters I don't have to use these nasty medications.
All the best
