That's good to hear, Shannon, especially the insurance part. Nice to hear of a doctor doing battle against the bean counters!
There have been quite a few posts about Maxalt in the last while. Most people report that it works very well. The wafer that dissolves on or under the tongue seems to work more quickly than the Imitrex pills. Unfortunately, it did absolutely nothing for me at all, but I seem to be in the minority.
I came across a triptan that I have never seen mentioned on this board before. It is called "Relpax", and the generic name is "eletriptan". Has anyone out there tried it? I have no idea what company makes it, or what the dosage level is.
