Evening Folks...

I'm back again after 4+ years... I really thought? they were gone.
Anyway Doc gave me some samples of this stuff and because of no insurance, imitrex is being saved for the real, real bad ones... the ones I have no warning of, or too far away from the house.
I tried it when I felt one coming...and swear, in less than 15 minutes...nothing!
This has worked 3 times in the last three days.

Has anybody else tried this... and if so, with what kind or results?

Thanks and I'll keep you posted... almost said glad to be back, but I did remember where to come to.

Thanks for all the help.

Hi Lake
been using maxalt tablets that disolve on the tongue (one of the triptan familly)  from march until june when my Dr whent mad as i was taking tooo many 2 a day on and off for 3 months apparantly i should take 1 in 24hrs for a max of 10 days one of the side effects is that it causes headaches also i broke out in red spots along my arms. Now on O2 and use maxalt as a last resort when i cant get to my O2.

i cut my attacks down from 40min to 15-20 min now on O2 im down to 5-10 min and no side effects.

This will be my next med to try, as Relpax didn't seem to work.  Or maybe it did.  The headache only lasted 30 minutes, but mine typically only last 30-60 minutes anyway.  PLus Relpax made me sick to my stomach for the rest of the night.  So, Maxalt is my next try...we'll see.
