Doctor also said that it could take a few weeks to see any improvement so I will keep you posted
That was 5-15-12. I wish that Lisa (Happygeek) had returned to follow-up; I think it would have been useful to others either way.

That was 5-18-12. Since that time (about a year ago, IIRC) Maxalt (rizatriptan) HAS gone generic. A quick search (subject to error) indicates the price per 10 mg pill is around $5 generic vs. $37 brand. Of course prices will vary depending on insurance, pharmacy, etc.
