Qulipta (atogepant) "Definitely helps with migraines. I still get headaches, but they are milder, so a dose of Excedrin will take care of it instead of the whole 3 days. Room spinning and the need for a dark room are significantly reduced."

Qulipta (atogepant) "Worked great for migraines, but side effects not worth it: initially had rash, hair seems to be falling out, overall sense of numbness (clearly affecting sex drive/performance), insomnia. I'm only taking the 30mg. No question that it's the drug causing these."

Qulipta (atogepant) "I have had daily headaches and migraines for many years. My doctor has prescribed many different meds for prevention and daily headaches and migraines, but nothing worked. Qulipta works! I don't have the daily headaches and I've only had two migraines in the past five weeks. It's expensive, but it works!!"

Qulipta (atogepant) "Completely changed my life. I went from 4 migraines a week to 0. I finally have my life back after 6 years of debilitating headaches! I take one pill each night before bed and have not had a migraine since starting the medication over a month ago. My only side effect is mild constipation. Also, my insurance doesn't cover it so I'm trying to figure out how to continue it. I'm desperate and don't know what I will do if I can't get it anymore."

Qulipta (atogepant) "I have just finished my 1st month of Qulipta 60mg and I didn't have a single headache all month! I've only had 2 side effects. First is off and on profuse sweating and feeling hot. It was pretty bad at first but now it's subsiding. The 2nd, I had an upper respiratory infection and was put on Augmentin and I experienced severe dizziness the whole time. To the point of falling over. I've been on Augmentin before and never had dizziness so I can only assume it didn't mix well with the Qulipta."

Qulipta (atogepant) "I have been on amitriptyline for 7 years. Beginning a year ago, I was on a very high dose, one of the highest you can take, and still getting multiple migraines a week. I was then offered Qulipta, and it has helped tremendously, but I still have to take amitriptyline every day with the Qulipta. I went from 5-6 migraines a week to maybe 1 every 2-3 weeks. I have been taking it in the morning and haven't had any issues with sleepiness. However, one missed dose for me means an immediate migraine, so I've had to really stay on top of the timing of my dose. The only side effect I seem to have, which is not listed, is hair loss. It may not be connected, but it didn't start until I began this medication. Overall, I would definitely recommend Qulipta."

Qulipta (atogepant) "I have been on Qulipta for a few months. I averaged 15 or more severe cluster migraines a month. I take 60mg 1x a day. Pros are that my migraines have definitely reduced, averaging maybe 1 or 2x a week. Cons are the following: severe constipation, weird and at times horrific, vivid nightmares, and when I do get a migraine, it’s extremely severe and basically shuts me down for the day."

Qulipta (atogepant) "I've been on the 60mg dose for about 18 days now. So far, I've been migraine-free. Before medication, I was having around 9-12 migraines a month. I would have brain fog and numbness in my ears. I've struggled over 25+ years on different medications to help. I did have mild constipation for the first 3 days; that has begun to get better. The medication also makes you feel like you're not hungry or thirsty. I am reminding myself to drink more fluids because it can cause dehydration and stinky pee. It did change my pee flow, something that wasn't listed as a side effect but I experienced. At first, I thought maybe bladder infection (UTI) wasn't the case. So just remember to drink fluids. My brain feels clear and no more brain fog. I was consuming so many doses of pain control medication before this new medication. I'm completely off all other meds. Take note of your side effects."

Qulipta (atogepant) "This medicine was like magic for the first 2 weeks I was on it! I got slight auras, but they never developed into pain or other symptoms. I have daily migraines for the last 3 years, and this reduced them to 1 over those 2 weeks, and it wasn't a bad one. However, after those 2 weeks, I had a 2-day long panic attack out of nowhere. I had to go to the hospital, and my blood pressure was 160/129. It went back down 5 hours later after that panic attack subsided. Depression got way worse, and my stomach felt like it had a baby in it without eating anything. Got off Qulipta, and all that went away when I stopped after 4-5 days. Sucks because it was awesome for the migraine! I was also only taking the 30 mg. I still recommend giving it a try! It's better than doing nothing about your migraines!"

Qulipta (atogepant) "For the first time in my life, I am not a migraine sufferer. Qulipta has eliminated almost all headaches for me. I may experience the occasional headache, but aspirin usually takes care of them now. I've had no symptoms for the first year, but have recently begun to have back pain. I'm not certain if this is a side effect of taking Qulipta, and I'm wondering if there are other people who take Qulipta and are also experiencing back pain."
