maxalt headache

They have been increasing in quantity and severity until about a year and a half ago I had to stop working completely. I am on a combination of darvacet, tramadol, topomax and maxalt. The combination leaves me in bed about 18 hours a day. I have had two MRIs. One with contrast and one without. Neither shows any good reason for my pain. The headache never goes away and I have no idea what makes it hit so hard every few days (room blacked out and crawling to the bathroom). Am I the only one.

Hello! I am 34 years old for the past 2 years I have been getting nausea with constant headache for 6 days before my period. It's to the point where I'm on zofran and have maxalt for headache. I can't leave my house because I feel like I'm going to vomit but I don't. I guess that's a good thing, lol zofran works. Once I get my period it goes away! Anyone experience this or have any feedback thank you!!!

Every morning I wake up with a severe headache/migraine/sinus headache. I'm not sure if I'm making them worse by taking aspirin or Maxalt to relieve the headaches. I wake up and my head is pounding, so I walk into the kitchen and grab the ice pack. I will try and abort the headache with the ice pack before resorting to aspirin or ibuprofen. If the ice pack does not work with in 20-30 minutes, I will take either aspirin or ibuprofen.

m still very much sick to my stomach, but no headache. I will NEVER run out of migraine medicine like that again. Maxalt is the only thing that works well for my headaches. My last few migraines have been giving me the chills and sweats. I wonder why that is. I'm so grateful for my friend and for Maxalt!

t see why maxalt would be a contender for treatment of chiari induced headache. Just based on the mechanism of action of the drug I feel it could be quite dangerous. Diamox (acetazolamide) has some off label uses but I am still combing through the limited publications on the subject and wouldn't suggest it unless u had very specific imaging and symptoms. Hope that helps!

Now my insurance has decided I need to try Imitrex before they will approve coverage for the Maxalt. The Imitrex took about 2 hours to have any effect, but eventually my headache subsided. Since then I have had recurring headaches for 4 days. These are similar to but not quite as painful as headaches I get from consuming too much caffeine (my caffeine tolerance is very low - a chocolate bar eaten over a 3 day period can cause extreme pain). So I am wondering if imitrex contains caffeine.

if the pain is really bad, like 8+/10 on the pain scale and it won't go away or any headache at all that you would consider the worst headache you've ever had before that you could possibly imagine anyone having no matter how long it lasts for, you could always try going to an Urgent Care Centre or the ER and they will be able to give you medication to try and stop the pain cycle (probably different than what your doctor has already prescribed you) and maybe oxygen like someone else sugg

I also get migraines. have you paid attention to any of the known migraine "triggers" like red wiine & chocolate, hard cheeses etc. You probably have but I thought I'd mention it. Like the others, I take Maxalt for mine & it always works. Maxalt is from the migraine interrupter family & also includes imetrix & Zomig. Good luck - it sounds very difficult.

Maxalt rocks. I love it and carry it everywhere with me. www.maxalt.com Another new med www.relpax.com (I have some, just not had a headache lately to use them) because I take my magnesium :0-). Here is a good site with migraine info. http://www.achenet.org/ And you need to get your migraine "bible" I got mine off of half.com cheap. This book helped me a lot in understanding my headaches and lots of good info.

Dear NM, Congratulation on achieving your degree. The Maxalt can cause what is called a rebound headache/migraine from overuse. I've not heard of being immune to it. Here are a couple of thoughts that might help you: 1) You and your Doctor may need to consider upping the dosage of topomax. My wife increased her dosage from 50mg to 100mg. At the 50mg dose we did notice a decrease in total number of monthly migraines after discounting for weather from the 25mg dose.

ve been taking. The maxalt worked right away, but I did wake up later on last night with a headache again. I go back to the neurologist next month for a follow-up.

January 7 I had an EEG that was the most painful thing that was ever done to me. The lights were so bright that it made my eyes roll downward in my eye sockets and my left leg jerk terribly. I could not control it. Also the noises in my ears were extremely loud, enough to startle me. I have had a severe headache since then & Tylenol does not help, which is all I'm allowed to take because of my medications. Has anyone had the same experiences as I have? Any suggestions for the headache?

I've had a headache for over two weeks that is excruciating. It is either right behind my eyes, or in the back of my neck. It feels like someone is squeezing my brain. Sometimes it hurts so much that it makes me nauseous. I've tried taking prescription ibuprofen but it doesn't help. Only going to sleep and hoping that it is gone when I wake up helps. Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this?Thanks!

hi this is meena from thirunellveli, i in very worse state of my migraine and i could find out that its a migraine headache, my major symptoms are severe headache, headache in back of the head (bottom left side), headache due to light, sound and odour and in recent times i also have severe back pain and shoulder pain. can u suggest me the treatment and medication...

He is almost 18 now and his headaches are down to 2 or 3 a month with Maxalt. He can never catch the headache when it starts because it almost always is present when he wakes up in the morning. And the meds make him feel weird so he is generally out for the day. After 10 years he says no more doctors! So I am going to take this time to finally try to sort out my different headaches. Thanks again for the info and the warning!

I have a friend that has dealt with debilitating migraines all of her life and she swears that the prescription drug Maxalt is the only thing that is effective for her and she has tried many medications including imitrex. She told me they are dissolvable tablets such that if you get sick and vomit, you won't vomit up the medication. I will get a migraine headache every once in a blue moon and I take the regular OTC stuff for it.

I was recently diagnosed with migraine after driving on a cloudy day without sunglasses for an hour and a half that resulted in a terrific headache, sensitivity to light and spotlights blocking my vision. The following day I could not stand up and felt like I had been given novacaine (sp) from a dentist--the left side of my tongue and upper palate were numb. I was given Benadryl, Reglan and Toradol which made me feel terrible by an ER doctor.

I have sleep apnea, insomnia, Diabetes Type II, hypertension, chronic headaches/migraines, hypothroidism, dysthymia, genralized anxiety disorder, elevated cholesterol (all controlled with medication). I take Rozerem for the insomnia. Works a bit. I use a C-PAP machine for the sleep apnea, but it doesn't seem to help my migraines and chronic headaches as I was hoping it would do. I am at the end of my rope, as it seems nothing and noone can help me.

HI, my husband just moved to India for a month and has forgotten his prescription medication in America (Maxalt MLT) Is there anyone who would know what the Indian version of Maxalt MLT would be? I am currently posting from america. I could have it shipped but the cost and everything would take too long.

Hi - I don't have a question but maybe have some answers for the other migraine sufferers out there. I have been a migraine sufferer for about twenty years. From the days when you had to lock yourself in a dark room for 3 days, vomiting and rolling in pain, scared of someone making a noise and having a spouse that does not even suffer from headaches!

Also there seemed to be a constant auditory humming. This is the fourth headache since Thursday of last week. I ended up taking two Maxalt and some hydromorphone to finally sleep. Should I be considering other options then continued medication in regard to the AVA and cavernous hemangioma. I am at a loss and very frustrated.

i have tried taking darvocett, maxalt, excederin migraine and none of these are working. I had a CT scan and thats where they found the sinus infection. Could there be any underlying problems for the persistant migraines. It is keepin me away from work. I am normally a very healthy person who does not take any medicines. what should I do.

Some times she remains normal for 2 to 3 months but some time headache occurs twice a week.
