Atogepant "I have been a chronic migraine sufferer for years, getting at least one a day, sometimes 2-3. I have been receiving nerve blocks and Botox for six months, with little to no effect. I have done all of the CGRP injections, and none of them were effective. Started 60 mg Qulipta three days ago and haven't had so much as the beginning of a migraine. I have learned not to be too hopeful about any treatment, but this one has me excited. No side effects thus far, other than mild fatigue and a small decrease in appetite."

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."

"It seems okay. Had migraines daily for the last five years, but they seem to help a bit. Constipation my main side effect. I have nerve block and Botox as well. Been on it 3 months, but it definitely helping my migraines. Just don’t miss a dose because you will know it. I am on 60 mg."

"I have only been on this medication for a week, but as a chronic migraine sufferer, I have noticed a good change so far. It may be too soon to say whether it’s working or I’m just having a good spell with fewer migraine attacks, but so far, the outlook is good. The only side effect I have encountered so far is constipation. However, I have severe IBS, so it’s almost like a benefit to me. I would say, if you do suffer from chronic migraines, definitely have a word with your neurologist about this medication. It might help you also."

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)."

Atogepant "I have tried nearly every available treatment for chronic migraine. I was getting so many, and then treating them individually, that I was getting 'rebound' head pain. It is an awful cycle. I was unsure how I was going to be able to continue working due to my severe migraines 10-15 days per month. After a battle with my insurance company, who made me try a myriad of seemingly unrelated medications, I was finally able to get Qulipta. I knew it worked because my neuro had given me a 2-week sample dose. Qulipta has changed my life. I get maybe 1-2 per month now, and they are so mild I can just carry on with my day. I have my life back - I no longer live in fear of a migraine ruining every event. They will warn you constipation is a main side effect. If you are already living a healthy lifestyle with lots of water, fiber, veggies - it should be mild enough."

Atogepant "I’ve been suffering from chronic migraines for most of my life, and I used a sample from my doctor. Within a week, I was not getting any migraines. I was a little bit sleepy on it, so I took it at night instead of the morning, and there were no problems-migraine free for a month. I’m just miserable that my insurance doesn’t cover it."

"It seemed to work almost instantly. From 18+ migraine days a month to 4 in the first month and 2 in the second. Two months after that, I had 1 migraine day. I know when I would be getting a migraine, but it never develops beyond a pressure feeling in my head. Side effects seem to be a decreased appetite, especially for snacking between meals, and increased fatigue. This could be down to other conditions I have, but I am more tired than usual, with lethargy rather than sleepiness. I take 60 mg at night."

Atogepant "I have suffered from chronic migraines since I was a young girl. I tried several medications before my insurance agreed to cover Qulipta. I have been taking it for almost 3 months now and have not had one single migraine episode - none! There are times I get a slight headache, but it doesn’t last longer than an hour with no return. It’s amazing, and I am so grateful for this medication. No side effects either."

Atogepant "I experienced head trauma as a small child. Hence, horrible migraines. I am now 61. I have been taking this medicine for almost two years. It has been a lifesaver. My insurance covered 80%, my secondary insurance covered the other 20%."

Atogepant "This medication works, though my experience is it’s most effective starting with the 2nd hour up to hours (18 - 20). Starts reducing in strength after that time period. Willing to supply further comments and speak with patients using the same medication."

Atogepant "I didn't have one migraine while I took it for 3 weeks. I was really excited. Unfortunately, the constipation and stomach pain were just not worth it. I tried 30 mg. Besides the side effects, this was the most effective migraine med I've ever tried."
