I've been taking Maxalt MLT for about 10 years now. I've used so many migraine medications in the past that I've lost count. Maxalt works in about 20 minutes for me and has taken away my migraines 98% of the time. No side affects for me other than some jaw pain every once in a while. It is rather expensive and wish my insurance paid more of the cost, but that is not the case.

Maxalt almost always works for me. The side affects for me are skin sensitivity, (warm water on my hands feels like boiling water), and muscle burn.
