For Migraine "My neurologist prescribed me Ubrelvy for my migraines. I tend to get them around my menstrual cycle. I was scared to try it after reading all the scary reviews, but last night decided to give it a try. I took 25 mg with a piece of toast at night in case I got sleepy. About 2 hours later, the migraine was gone. This morning when I woke up, I was surprised how good I felt. I'm sensitive to a lot of meds, but didn't have any horrible side effects to Ubrelvy. It gave me a slight stomach ache and a little dry mouth, but that's about it. I wish I would've tried it sooner. I'm glad I finally found something to cure my horrible migraines!"

For Migraine "I love Ubrelvy. I didn't tolerate triptans well - sumatriptan made me debilitatingly dizzy and rizatriptan gave me heart palpitations - but the only side effect I get from Ubrelvy is very mild dry mouth. It got rid of my migraine within an hour, significantly reducing the pain. I've only had to take it once so far, but I definitely had a better experience than with other migraine meds I've tried."

For Migraine "Took 50 mg Ubrelvy tablet for the first time two nights ago. The drug took 2-3 hours to work, but it did dispatch my stubborn migraine (of several days’ duration). Side effects were noticeable the following day and night. They included extreme leg cramps (back of left thigh), nausea, stomach pain and stomach cramps, dry mouth, dehydration, excessive thirst, a horrible taste in my mouth, and olfactory distortions. Everything smelled like cigarettes. While I was relieved that this drug got rid of my migraine, I probably won't take it again. Triptans, Fioricet, Prednisone, and Aimovig have helped dislodge them with less onerous side effects."

For Migraine "I was receiving BOTOX treatments for my migraines, my insurance (United Healthcare) decided to deny them after 6 years unless I wanted to pay in full for the treatment (which I can't afford). They agreed to Ubrelvy, out of 5 my Neuro sent over to them (it wasn't my Dr's 1st pick). It has not made my stomach upset (thankfully), I experienced dry mouth and being tired (zombie-like). However, it hasn't helped with the 1 migraine so far, and I have tried back-to-back doses. I've been using it for a month now (about 6 doses). I just want/need to be without pain for at least 1 day."

For Migraine "My doctor gave me a sample of Ubrelvy as a treatment for when a migraine were to occur. On the plus side, I started feeling relief in about 90 mins. It was early evening, so I went to sleep. Woke up around 3:30 am, and I was no longer in pain, but I was sweating with the feeling of the room spinning. My mouth was very dry, and I was feeling nausea. After dry-heaving a bunch, I drank half a bottle of water. Vomited that up not long after. The plus side is the pill seemed to help with the headache, but were the side effects worth it? I’m on the fence about trying another dosage for future migraine."

For Migraine "I first tried taking sumatriptan, but my hair started falling out, and I was dizzy and couldn't find words most of the time. I then started Botox for my migraines. It made such a difference! I went from basically being bedridden to only having 3 migraines a month. I have much less now, and when I know that Tylenol isn't going to take one away, I use half a pill for it, or a full pill for a 'deep' one. It pretty much knocks me out for a couple of hours, but then the pain is gone. The side effects hit me the next day. So last night I took one, and today I am out of breath, sweaty, my skin hurts to touch (especially my legs), and I have a dry mouth. BUT I can be up and with my kids. I just have to take it slow the next day is all. I would rather have these small side effects and be able to be up and about instead of being in bed still trying to get over it. The Botox and Ubrelvy combo has gotten me my life back! I would suggest anyone with migraines try it."

"It sure helps me with my head discomfort, but it gave me such a dry mouth I started having mouth sores I never had before. Had to stop taking it."
