Rizatriptan wafers
Common Questions and Answers about Rizatriptan wafers
maxalt
I cannot seem to keep the wafers, or barriers as some call them, attached. The stool just pushes up and out and makes the wafer come off. It does not drop in the bag like it is supposed to. I am taking 400 mg of stool softner and miralax per day to try and soften things up as the doctor told me this should help the situation. I have a recessed stoma, it does not poke out. I have used concave and regular wafers, but not used the belt as I do not like it.
Personal experience and objective data tell me that Roche tablets are best, and that there are no inconsistencies between the brand and generic wafers. The wafers have little room for error, as they are very rapidly absorbed. Binders and fillers in tablets are all subject to variation (depending on the manufacturer), which likely affects absorption, and subsequently, onset of action, AUC Max, BA and BE.
One day, I intend to write a post with my objective findings on this subject.
My doctor prescribed me these vitamin d3 wafers that I'm suppose to take weekly since my vitamin d is a little on the low side and he says vit d deficiency can cause several birth defects. So I've been taking Replesta vit d3 for 3 weeks now its one chewable tablet per week & just now I just read on the indications and use sheet "NOT TO BE USED BY PREGNANT WOMEN". Says it can cause heart defects in fetuses amongst other things. I dont know how to feel right now.
I went to a neurologist and they prescribed me Nortriptyline, Methylprednisolone, and Rizatriptan. Since I have taken these medications I have gained a little relief however, it all just came back after a week. When I was on rizatriptan it constricted the vessels on the temporal regions of my head and I did not feel them throbbing too much, however, there were still headaches.
They're pretty good because they work a lot faster than the pills, and they don't taste bad to me. They just dissolve in your mouth and go to work! I take them when I can't control my anxiety any other way, but I must say that for some reason the pill form seems stronger even with the same dosage. This could be because of what they mix it with. If you don't like waiting an hour on the pills, then the wafers are a good choice. They are also a bit more expensive (just a bit).
I am 12 weeks and have terrible morning sickness and nausea. the wafers are all that works. i am having trouble getting a script larger than four wafer or tablets. its really started to drive me mental. i am having to go to the doctor every four days just so i am able to function for work. any suggestions on how to get around this problem??
I've heard of methodone being referred to as "pink wafers". I'm 27 days off of methodone.I personally refer to it as "pure evil".Stay away from metodone.Just my opinion.
Wafers are expensive and cannot be cut. You can cut a .5 mg tab into fourths easily. Each fourth will equal .125 mg. I have taken a long slow taper and have had no withdrawal yet. Hope it continues. Hope you can be successful also. good luck. Ryan is definately the guy to listen to. If you can afford the wafers or have coverage I would take his advice.
The wafers are equal to 1/2 of the .05 mg tab. The wafers instruct you not to break or cut them, but my doctor said it would work and it did. I used a pill cutter. It wasn't always a uniform cut but it worked out in the daily total. I started by taking two wafers=.05 mg per dose. I took away a quarter wafer from my daily total(started w/ am dose). I stayed at that amount for two weeks and then took away another quarter wafer and so on. Your doctor has to prescribe the wafers.

Hi,
Maxalt is brand name for Rizatriptan. It belongs to the category of medication known as Triptans. Triptans are very effective in treatment of acute migraine attacks because they are known to reduce the swelling of blood vessels. Dilatation of blood vessels in the brain is known to cause migraines.

Our 3 year old autistic boy will not eat anything AT ALL. Except vanilla wafers. He does drink a lot of apple juice and some fruit punch. He also drinks about 2 baby bottles of formula daily (keeping him on this for his vitamins and nutriments). We tried force feeding but any feeding is a physical battle of flying arms, hands, clenched teeth, twisting head, etc. Not wanted to tramatize him anymore we have given up and are letting him eat his cookies.
By way of background I have chronic daily headaches as well as migraines with aura, and have had those since I was 14 (I’m 32 now). I take rizatriptan for the migraines and Tylenol and ibuprofen for the daily headache.
I tried to close my eyes and then open them but it continued for about 15 mins, once it slowed down i took one of my migraine pills (maxalt wafers) and feel back to sleep, once I woke a couple of hours later apart from feeling exhausted my vision had improved and my migraine was back to a dull throb. Has anyone had any simular experiences or do you think it could be caused by the pill. Please help as it was very scary.
Metafiber wafers, Benefiber, and Psyllum husks capsules as well as Fiber 1 cereal. I have got to the point where I produce good sized stools on a regular basis, however my bowel movements still feel incomplete. I feel as if there is still hard, dry stool matter behind the main stool that is not coming out. As a result, I never feel fully empty. Does anyone have any advice of something further I can try?
I do eat metamucil wafers. I have a problem with going to much instaed of constipation so f I eat too much fiber it isn't good for me. I do eat more carefully these days. I noticed caffeine, spicy foods, tomatoes, and then sometimes I am not sure what caused me to hurt.
I have a history of horrible migraines since my early teens and they just recently began. It's been exactly a week since I've had this particular migraine and since tylenol is the only safe thing I can take, I am in agony!! I'm used to taking excedrin and rizatriptan but neither of those are safe for the baby. I've tried sleeping, cold rags on my neck and forehead, head rubs, everything! And I just can't get rid of if! I'm to the point where I want to go to the e.
The last 2 weeks or so my migraines have gotten more frequent and less apt to respond to Rizatriptan. I am wondering if I am just having a bad week or if the accutane is to blame.
I had cataract removal surgery over a year ago with premium bifocal implants via laser. I've had occasional migraines since then but has come to daily occurrences since June 2022 (most of pain is behind left eye). I've seen my ophthalmologist twice since surgery and she says I have 20/20 vision with nothing wrong. I'm currently seeing a neurologist and he has prescribed Nortriptyline for preventative (which hasn't helped) and Rizatriptan to get rid of migraine.

I would suggest you to discuss this with your prescribing doctor if it is getting difficult to cope with this side effect. There are other triptans available which you can try like Rizatriptan.
Hope this helps!

Methadose (Which is a brand name) also comes in orange wafers that are 40mgs a piece and scored for easy breaking. There are a few generic wafers that come in 40mg per tab as well. And if this wasnt confusing enough as it is.... there is also another brand name known as Dolophine. Dolophine is simply Methadone Hcl in an actual pill form, not a wafer. It comes in 5mg, and 10mg strengths.
Pizza, as always. And chocolate/caramel ice cream! Mmm!
