But how do I know the difference between a regular headache and a migraine? Do I just take it any time I feel any sort of headache?

Old thread BUT I never knew you asked-
For me (and by the way, since my last post I've only had ONE migraine- prety good for a half year), Maxalt has no side effects to speak of- no bloody poo or swelling. One time years back I needed it a few times over a weekend, and I think it constipated me, only because I've never failed to poop like that before or since. Sorry for the graphic detail, be we are being medicinal here.
As for knowing the difference, just wait 5 minutes. If it is a migraine, you will know. I've come to realize that I will always know when it is real- if I am questioning it, its not a migraine.
