For Migraine Prevention "I’ve been taking Qulipta for three months now, and it seems to be working better than Aimovig and Topamax, etc. I just get stomach upset and very loose stools, which occurs once I wake up in the morning. I also experience vertigo with migraines, and some side effects cause dizziness, which is no fun to deal with. Overall, this medication does reduce the number of migraines I used to have and gets my activities back, but some side effects are unpleasant for me, particularly since I’m very sensitive to medication."

For Migraine Prevention "Qulipta was prescribed to me for migraine headaches. I have headaches that vary according to a pain scale of 4-9 about an average of 12 times a month, with auras of both photophobia and photophobia, numbness and tingling in my face, body fatigue, nausea, and dizziness. Qulipta has helped diminish the headaches but also caused me to be extremely tired and dizzy from time to time. I was officially put on the highest dosage (60 mg) of Qulipta in the beginning, and the neurologist lowered the dose to (30 mg). The higher dosage of 60 mg caused me to not be able to function. I would sleep for 3-4 days straight, I would not be hungry or thirsty during that time because I was sleeping all the time. Pulling back on the dosage to 30 mg daily has helped me greatly. I have not been taking Qulipta for very long. I hope this continues to work. One other problem that I have with Qulipta is $$$. I had to go through many different medications before approval by my insurance company."

For Chronic Migraine "I have been suffering daily migraines, constant sweating, nausea, and vertigo-type symptoms since taking a baseball to the head 7 years ago. Took all the shots and Botox, and nothing worked. Started Qulipta 60 mg approximately 6 months ago and have gone to 75% fewer migraines. My side effects are vivid dreams and not feeling hungry, though I haven’t lost anything (my own fault). It has been a life-changing drug. Doesn’t appear to work with weather changes, but I have other pills for that."

For Migraine Prevention "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."
