Rizatriptan FAQ

Can you take Dramamine and Maxalt together?

My mom suffers from something along the lines of vertigo so the doctor gave her Dramamine (meclizine hydrochloride) and Maxalt (rizatriptan benzoate) and she told her to take the Maxalt immediately when she felt dizzy- i gaver her the Maxalt before she got sick, but she threw it up not even five minutes later- so it's been about 45 minutes and I just gave her the Dramamine and i don't know if i should try again and give her the Maxalt- so the question is can she take them together? I've already tried calling the doctor but everyone's office hours are closed and to call back Tuesday- the first time I took her to the emergency room they took a bunch of tests told her there was nothing wrong with her- the last time she took sick was last Friday and was fine about two days later- it's the same thing (shaky, dizzy, sensitive to light, upset stomach, vomiting) over and over and no one knows what to do about it...

I suffer from migraine headaches. The insurance through my work does not cover migraine medication at all (and there is no way to upgrade the insurance to a plan that pays for it). Does anyone know of any cheap prescription medication for migraines? I know that rizatriptan (Maxalt) works really well for me, but it costs $117 for 6 pills.

I am writing a term paper on 'Triptans' (the seratonin agonists: 5-HT agonists). However, I am having a hard time finding the lethal dose of a given triptan (sumatriptan, rizatriptan etc.). I have looked in the merck index, and in the FDS annual reports. Can anyone find one for me please?

i am on a repeat prescription for 10mg maxalt for migraines,on my last prescription it said i had to see my gp before being given another prescription,i am only on 2 a month why does he want to see me????any ideas

This questiuon is about my husband and his awful headaches. Brief history- 5 yrs ago he started to get headaches and migranes, went to docs had MRI scan all clear told 1 in 5 people have migrane so just get on with it, things got worse head aches lasted for 2 weeks at a time, back to docs husband demanded to see specilist, had more scans which where all clear told he had tension headaches given low dose of Amitrityline which has increased to a high dose ( he takes this everyday and when he has a migrane he has to take 10mg of Maxalt (Rizatriptan). My husband still gets headaches everyday he takes normal painkillers as well ( we have checked and this is ok along side his normal medication). I know the specilist is doing his job and I have looked at many websites but do you suffer something similar and how have you learned to deal with it? have you had or heard of surgery for this ? Any serious ideas/help/advice this is affecting my husbands quality of life. Thanks in advace.
