Just started Qulipta-any experiences to share?

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?

Good suggestion. The only other thing I that definitely helps the pain. I purchase Wellness Migraine Cool patches from Amazon. Put them on my forehead (works like an ice pack), and where a hat if I'm going out. It numbs the pain and allows me to function through the day. Otherwise, I wouldn't be going out. I'd be in bed. It has saved me.

Thank you so much for the information. I do see a neuro who specializes in headaches. She is hard to see because she is so busy but I do have an appointment with her PA this month & I want to talk to her about Botox & nerve blocks. I’m finding the meds to be useless with side effects. Did you have any side effects from the Botox?
