Post-Op Migraine Medication - Drinkable Maltax

[bakawaka 59]

I sometimes get Migraines. Today I visited my doctor to ask about post-op medications that can be ground-up/crushed or taken as a liquid. I usually take Immitrex for migraines. My doctor prescribed Maltax - he stated that Maltax can be mixed with Water. So it will be my temporary substitute for Immitrex until my stomach heals enough to tolerate Immitrex. I have never taken Maltax and actually never have heard of it. I'm not a doctor. I have no medical training or pharmaceutical training. But I wanted to pass along this tip in case it is helpful for others who suffer migraines and who need a medication post-op that is not in pill form.

I have Migraines also. I take Maxalt-MLT and it dissolves on my tongue. It is not a narcotic either. I even got a Migraine after my surgery and convinced the nurse to let me take one of my own I had brought from home (she said what she didn't see didn't happen and proceeded to leave the room - ha!) and it worked great. I have been taking them for a very long time and they still work. Hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck!

I also do the Maxalt dissolvable and love it! I suffer from Migraines also. I am also on topamax as a daily preventative.

I take topamax as well make sure you take half your dose in the morning and the other half at night so you are constantly getting its benefits my dr said I also take trazadone as a preventative and maxalt mlt when I get one

Hi. Imitrex is also available sub q injectables and in generic. It's like an epi pen.

Thanks so much for the information about Immitrex! I had not idea that it was available as an injectable. I will let my physician know.

No worries! Between that and the Maxalt sublingual Migraines will be fine for me! Nothing in the way of my sleeve! Lol
