Just started Qulipta-any experiences to share?

Posted by roseann4z @roseann4z, 5 days ago

I have been feeling pretty awful with migraine, cervicogenic headaches and fatigue from those issues & breast cancer drugs. Was taking Nurtec with not great results but now been switched to Qulipta. I hate adding another daily drug to my already beat-up body (I am 71) Also this is all making me anxious & they want to give me another pill for that! Looking for some advice as to how to fight the fatigue and other side effects & wondering if the drugs are worth it. So far I’m not any better. On day 5 of 30 mg Qulipta. On Nebebolol beta blocker, Ibrance & Exemestane for cancer & a blood thinner. Thanks for any thoughts.

Did not work for me, nor did the Nurtec.

Qulipta was a God send to me, but my history is not nearly as complicated as yours. I went from 15-20 days of headache/month to fewer than 5 - I hope it never stops working! I didn’t notice side effects, but am questioning now if it may be causing some sleepiness.

I have been on Qulipta for a year. It has reduced my headaches some with no side effects. My Dr suggested I add Nurtec to it when headaches come but I don’t like how it makes me feel. 1/2 Sumatriptan will help but it does make you tired, and it takes a while to kick in.
