Qulipta (atogepant) "I have found results really quickly but as my body adjusted I needed a higher dose. 60mg. I am very impressed. I was in pain daily and limited all activities just to prevent a migraine attack. This has become my new preventative. Only 3 weeks in though."

"The only thing in over 20 years of trying that has helped the migraines. The first year, I did not have any migraines, now they are starting to come back, but nothing I cannot live with. The only side effect is dizziness when standing, even to the point of passing out a few times. I just need to remember not to get up quick and start walking. Still would not stop this, to be free of being in bed for days with a migraine is worth much more."

Qulipta (atogepant) "I am in my 50s. History of chronic migraines for 30 years (20+ migraine days/month). Started 30mg Qulipta in December. Initial nausea for the first few weeks. Migraines were down to 1-2 a month, however, they have crept up again in the last 4 weeks, 2-3 migraine days per week. Going to try the 60 mg dose. The first few months on Qulipta were magical!"

Qulipta (atogepant) "I've had chronic migraines since I was 13 and headaches before 13 years old. I've been on MULTIPLE medications, some help but none really take them away. I got Qulipta prescribed to me (I take 60mg in the morning daily) and ever since I've been on it, they have improved so much. I'll occasionally get a headache but it's not like the others. I haven't had any side effects that are listed on the bottle or what your doctor tells you (but it might not be the same for you)."

Qulipta (atogepant) "Qulipta has been a life changer for me. I've tried every medication, diet change, and all-natural remedies to no avail. I cut my 60 mg pill in half because I don't have insurance. Since day one of taking the meds, I've barely had any migraines. I went from 3-4 days in bed all day to 0. At first, I was afraid they would come back, but after 3 months on the meds, I have hope. I've only had one or two less severe migraines in 3 months. Unbelievable for me. I thought I would never find help. The only side effects I've had is constipation, so I take a stool softener 2x per day, and that has helped. The constipation was so bad it was like having cement in my bowels. No kidding. Also, I've experienced a little problem with staying asleep, but I’ll take that any day over being bedridden. I highly recommend Qulipta and hope it becomes more affordable soon."

Qulipta (atogepant) "It does seem to be helping reduce my migraines, but I am constantly tired. I was hoping I would acclimate to it and the fatigue would go away, but so far, it hasn’t. I don’t know for sure if the fatigue is caused by Qulipta or not."

Qulipta (atogepant) "I take 30mg/day, and for the first time in thirty years, I'm able to stave off a headache with ibuprofen, which used to be completely ineffective. I'm taking my rescue meds very infrequently - maybe once every month or two - when I used to ration them. I'm waking up feeling rested almost every day for the first time in my life, as well."

Qulipta (atogepant) "I have been on 60mg of Qulipta for about a month. It's been great for my migraines. I only had one. I normally have 4 to 5 a week. I unfortunately had to stop taking it due to severe stomach issues. I had major constipation and bloating. My stomach looked like I was 4 months pregnant. Extremely uncomfortable. I can't live on laxatives every day either. Plus my insurance doesn't cover the medication and I can't afford to pay $1,200 every month. I will go back to taking Aimovig, which is covered and gave me no side effects."

Qulipta (atogepant) "It didn't work for me. My doctor prescribed 60 mg - perhaps I should have broken it into thirds. It made me very constipated and I just didn't feel well."

Qulipta (atogepant) "13 days ago I started 30 mg daily of Qulipta with zero expectations. Today, I am going on day 13 of not having a migraine. I can honestly say this medication has changed my entire life in only 13 days. Upon taking my first dose, the first three days following, I had horrendous sharp stomach pain and constipation. These side effects are finally easing up but not entirely. For me, the pros versus cons in taking this medication was something I really thought long and hard about before taking it. I ultimately decided that stomach pain over multiple migraines a week was something I could deal with. I’m hoping it’s temporary and will subside even more than it already has. I have also been tired in a way that is kind of hard to describe but not to the point where I can’t function on a regular level. I feel like my body is getting used to this medication slowly but it feels like it's working! I can still feel the mood changes associated with my migraines, which is crazy, but overall 10/10"
