For Migraine Prevention "NO positive reduction in daily migraines/headaches...no change whatsoever. I actually can not say ANYTHING good about these kinds of medicines. (CGRPs) I can only say DO NOT take them. I was told the only adverse side effect with Vyepti is a runny nose or stuffy nose. My Negatives - rapid heart rate, chest pain, insomnia, increased nausea/vomiting, bladder-kidney issues, extreme WEIGHT GAIN, hair loss, joint/muscle pain, constipation, fingers, thighs, genital blistering, fevers, mouth sores, dizziness & memory issues. I've had an ablation due to the cardiac issues. I actually told my Neuro 'I don't think Vyepti is working' & she said 'take another dose if you still don't find any relief, call back in a month & we will up the dose!' I had also tried Aimovig for over a year & then it just stopped working. She said 'that can't happen, something else caused it to stop working.' I have never received any relief with Vyepti but have seen crazy negative side effects."

For Migraine Prevention "I had pain and a hot feeling and burning sensations on my forehead at my hairline, and also losing a lot of hair only after one dose, and terrible ringing in both ears with no reductions in my migraine, so my personal preference is not to take it."

For Migraine Prevention "I have suffered from migraines for 20 years. The past several years, they have become debilitating. There isn’t a medication I haven’t tried. I have completed my 6th infusion. I do feel like it is helping with the intensity of my migraines, but I still get them. The thing I have noticed is 2 weeks after each infusion, I lose huge amounts of hair!!! I started taking pictures because I thought people thought I was exaggerating. I started taking prenatal vitamins because of the hair loss. I will continue with the infusions because I do think they help, and at this point, I am desperate for any relief."
