A member asked:

I have had a really bad throbbing headache since i woke up. can i take maxalt while on pamelor 25mg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes absolutely!!! Pamelor is to be taken daily to help reduce headache frequency. Unfortunately, intermittent headaches will happen. Our goal is four or less per month. You can definitely take Maxalt while taking Pamelor and you should try to take it at first sign of headache.

I had a headache from 4 pm - 5 am. I didn't take anything. I took Excedrin around 4 am but it didn't help. Then I took Maxalt (rizatriptan) MLT around 5 am and it helped. Can you take Excedrin and Maxalt (rizatriptan) for migraine?
