Re: Topomax vs. other migraine medication

[Guest guest]

a few people were talking about a

sublingual migraine med - I thought they said the name was Maltox

Sue:

the sublingqual Migraine medication you are talking about is Maxalt. My

husband takes that when he gets the cluster headaches. He gets migraines

every other year for the entire month of February. (Go figure). It has

been the only medication that has worked for him.

I've tried it too and it works much better than the Imitrex for me. I

get migraines that last for no less than 10 hours all the way up to two

weeks. The first one I got lasted almost two months. Consider that a

vast improvement.

We consider it a wonder drug too. He has been taking it, I believe at

least 8 or 9 years. Can't remember if he started it when was a

baby or when I was preggers with Leah. Could possibly be only 7 years

then, but needless to say, its been quite awhile.
