I suffer from chronic cervical migraine headaches. I used Maxalt for years and found occasional relief from the headaches. The main reason I am writing this review was I wanted to share my experience/side effect.

I've used Maxalt for migraines for years and it works great if I can get it when I first feel the symptons. If I wait until it's full blown, then I have to take Tramadol with it for it to work. I recently started taking the generic version and I've noticed that it makes me significantly more sleepy than the non-generic form.

If I use this before full blown migraine hits, it wipes it away. I just started using generic version and it makes me much more sleepy than I'm used to with non-generic form
