I'm a 73 yr. old female, just starting to take Emgality for headaches. I don't have migraines, but suffer from daily headaches. I was injected with 2 doses, yesterday, then 1 a month. This morning I woke up with a headache, took 2 excedrin, it was gone within 1 hour. I want to get off the excedrin. I'm going to give this time to start working. Don't know if this will start working right away or not. Let me know if anyone out there is taking this same drug and what their experience is with it.

I just got my first injection of Emgality 4 days ago. I've been having really strange dreams for the last two or three nights. When I finally fell asleep this morning (because I couldn’t fall asleep through the night) I had really strange and vivid dreams. I woke up briefly 4 times, and each time I fell back to asleep I had different dreams, all were totally weird. I looked up Emgality and read it can cause weird dreams along with nightmares, but it wasn't on websites that posted the side effects for the medicine. I sure hope that I don't start having nightmares. I don’t really want to sleep now because of the strange dreams. Will I be stuck with this for the next 3 or 4 weeks? I sure hope not.
