I have been using Maxalt for about 8 years and it works great. Headache is gone within 2 hours. Sometimes it returns 12 to 24 hours later and I repeat the dose. Maxalt seems to stave off the nausea, vomiting, and headaches that last 4 or 5 days.

I always crave sweet things during and after an attack, mostly it has to be jelly babies or such like. I have found it helps me get over the attack once I've taken my meds, might just be cause they wipe my energy levels out.

When I am getting over a hra he I crave sweets.

I usually want chocolate which makes the migraines worse! There have been times when my head hurts and not thinking about it will get chocolate milk or something. I then realize what I am doing and end up throwing the chocolate away. When your so used to having a headache, it makes it difficult.

Every time , never fails... The second I'm actually able to get up out of bed, I go straight to the kitchen in search of anything sweet! Or I'll have my fiance go get fast food. I want nothing healthy at that point. Lol
