For Chronic Migraine "I am on the Botox and Aimovig injections (for a few years) with Qulipta recently started. The Botox and Aimovig lessened daily migraines, but I started having hemiplegic migraines, which mimic stroke symptoms. The Qulipta seemed like a wonder drug for the first few months, minus the constipation, which is a good thing for me. However, within the last two months, I have started having right shoulder and collarbone pain, excruciating stomach pain, and back pain. The pain even went down my right leg in the nerves and the muscles. Back pain is worse than before I had back surgery years ago for a broken back. The doctor couldn’t find anything wrong with any of these problems. So after reading most of these reviews, I’m beginning to wonder if this is a symptom of this Qulipta? I do have the agitation/anger, ringing in the ears, and exhaustion as well. Disappointed."

For Chronic Migraine "Had significant relief from daily headaches immediately. Did not help with aura, neck pain, or dizziness. Unfortunately, the severe constipation and stomach pain continued to worsen to the point I had to stop using this medication."

For Chronic Migraine "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."

For Migraine Prevention "Started taking Qulipta (60 mg) close to a year ago. Initially, the only side effect symptom was constipation, but no migraines. After four to five months, a few breakthrough migraines. Then stomach pain shooting to back and shoulder, insomnia, anger/agitation, ringing in ears, all accelerating to unbearable levels. Stopped taking a few days ago, and my nerve pain has calmed somewhat, but stomach pain continues along with persistently loud ringing in ears. I was going to break it in half to wean off, but I don’t think my stomach can bear it. It’s ironic in that my migraines usually begin with stomach pain and that the one and only medication that helped is now causing stomach pain along with other symptoms. Usually, adverse reactions to medication start at the beginning of use for me, not long term, so it took a while to realize it was the Qulipta."
