It is important to assure that the symptoms you are experiencing are not due to optic neuritis (from demyelination of the optic nerve). The muscle weakness as you know is not a symptoms of migraine (although in the setting of prolonged migraine generally feeling "weak" may occur). MRI/MRA studies may be indicated. Maxalt and similar drugs should be used with caution with complex neurological symptoms. Keep in touch with your neurologist, as your symptoms are very prolonged and may need further evaluation.
