Maxalt is a
non-narcotic prescription drug for the treatment of
migraines. It comes in a little tablet-like thing, that you gently push out of plastic onto your
tongue, where it dissolves. It tastes
nasty and makes your mouth
feel funny, but it works well. If the first
dose doesn't
nail your
headache, you can take another one in two hours. If it doesn't go away then, you need to go to the
ER.
Maxalt is a
brand name; the generic name is
Rizatriptan. It's relatively new, so if you haven't had it prescribed for your migraines, talk to your
doctor about it.
