After having taken Maxalt 10mg for over 8 years, my insurance company decided that I should start taking a generic. The patient info sheet listed a lot of ingredients that I do not eat or am not normally exposed to. I had no choice but try the generic. I had a difficult time opening the wrapper with a migraine.

Worked in less than 30 minutes and was 100% in 45 minutes. Never made me drowsy, or nervous. Seemed to make me more alert and attentive. Was being treated for Ocular Migraine.

I experienced unpleasant anxiety and visual hallucinations at the onset of the effect of the drug. Although my migraine usual have visual 'hallucination'/distortions, these were dissimilar and unpleasant, the anxiety associated with the medication was almost as debilitating as a migraine, I can't consider this to be a viable option for treating the onset of a migraine for that reason. Although my headache didn't persist after the initial unpleasant effects, that lasted up to 30-45 minutes.
