That's kinda the way I feel about Maxalt. Imitrex didn't do much for me. (I know for some folks it's just the other way around.) The first neuro I went to for migraines said I had rebounds from the Maxalt, and then said (same visit) I had a "status migraine" His solution was to take a low dose of Imitrex for a week (too low to work). It was a week of agony.... AG-GON-NEE! When the 10 days were up, I took some Maxalt, knocked out the headache, and never went back.

I wish Maxalt was generic like Imitrex, though - these are some cussed expensive headaches!
