Title: O2 and triptan Post by McGee on Nov 28th, 2010 at 2:01am
Hi here is something i used the last couple of days wich gave me at least a couple more hours of sleep.
I was on night shift last week 22:00 to 06:00 and getting 3 hits a day with 2 hours seperation (go to sleep 2 hours later up and dancing) wich you can imagine is a pain in the arse especially if you have worked all night. So after the first hit around 09:00 wich i killed off with O2 i took one of my tablets, Maxalt Lingua 10mg wich melt on the tongue (taste like crap but hey) after wich i was able to sleep for around 6 hours and once the beast didnt wake me. I was very happy with this result but i must allso warn everyone of the side effects. first off all i can take 1 in any 24hrs and only for 10 days so not for constant use. allso this is a triptan and one side affect is headaches :D :D :D and can prolong a cycle. maxalt for me is only used in extreme cases where i cant get to my O2 or i havent slept properly for 3-4 days. O2 is my only abortive and will continue to be untill some smart arse finds a cure [smiley=deadhorse4.gif] Mark (HI jerry, i know you read that LOL) |

The standard maxalt instructions I've seen are that you can take 2 doses in 24 hours but should always wait at least 2 hours between doses.
Good reminder there bbz about how it can't be used along with imitrex. |
