Just started Qulipta-any experiences to share?
Headache & Migraine | Last Active: Jun 3 11:12am | Replies (11)Comment receiving replies
I have been on 60mg of Qulipta for about a month & I think my headaches are more frequent. Today I had one with a visual aura that hasn’t happened to me in months. I know this med might take a while to work &I have an appointment with the PA on 6/24 wonder if I should keep going till then? So far Nurtec& Ubrelvy have not helped either. Ideas?

I feel pretty much the same.
I just tried a new medicine called Ergomar (plus I do Vyepti, Ajovy and do Botox every 90 days), and I think Ergomar may be working as a rescue drug. I also have used Topiramate as a preventative. I think that works, but it constipates me, so I quit taking it,
I was on Sumatriptan until I reached the age of 60. At 60 my doctor took me off due to Triptans being known to cause stroke in people over 60. It really didn’t help much anyway.
I was prescribed Nurtec and Quilipta but my copay is $400.00 for 9 pills per month so I opted out.
I have been getting Botox injections for a couple of years. It took a year to see progress and then another year before it stopped working. My last injections were delivered to my neck rather than head/face and it really helped for 2 months now into month 3 I’m back to chronic 10 pain. I’m looking forward to my next injections for sure. They can only do them every 3 months.
You might want to talk to your doctor about referral to a neurologist that specializes in migraines?

Like you, I thought Qulipta did nothing for me but make me more dizzy. I tried Nurtec and Ubelvy and Viapta. I also tried about 50 other medications off-label. I'm afraid this is my new life in pain!
