I am still suffering from the effects of Emgality 3 months after taking a double dose. No migraine meds have helped me; only made me dizzzier.

@mikayla1 Hey, Mikayla - I'm sorry to hear Emgality hasn't helped you, that's very unfortunate because it does help some people. Eventually, none of the migraine meds helped me either. I took me a while to figure out that I had central sensitization syndrome. The fact that you have dizziness from the meds, makes me wonder if you have central sensitization. A few things to consider:

1. Are treatments are no longer working?
2. Is deconditioning setting in?
3. Are you in emotional distress?

I may have discussed CSS with you before, forgive me, I don't recall. Anyhow, I feel awful when folks are suffering and there may be options by thinking outside of the box. Have you considered Mayo Pain Rehab Center? A lot of migraine sufferers find help there.

I sorry to hear this. All the CGRPs made me 10X worse, like my head was exploding with hot liquid lava. Doctor didn't believe me at first because "no one else had that symptom". Sending you a heartfelt hug. It took nearly 2 months for my symptoms to go away. Hope this passes soon, Mikayla, you deserve better. 🤗 Lin
