Just started Qulipta-any experiences to share?

Hi, I did connect with my neuro. I stopped taking Qulipta 2 nights ago. He said it would take 5 days for it to clear. I'll keep you posted. thanks

Didn't work for me

Hi, I know how you feel about the prospect of "one more pill." It is a roll of the dice, it seems, as to whether it will help or cause something unexpected. It seems that Qulipta helps a lot of people. After 60 days of 60 mg. I threw in the towel. Didn't seem to help migrianes and increased daily HA. Maybe a coincidence. Who knows. So I'm sticking with Propranolol (20 mg. 2X/day) and Reyvow to abort. After reading how so many people were helped by Propranolol, I requested it rather than being prescribed it initially by my neuro. Propranolol seems to be a fairly common preventive. It has really helped regulate my heart rate.

Qulipta worked for one month
Then Horrific large oblong hives from head to toe
Burning and itching on the feet something unbelievable Pain
Super sensitivity and all of my teeth it was so painful I couldn’t even eat
It took over six months for my body to return to normal

But my teeth are needing to be extracted. I mean the teeth sensitivity was ungodly. Something is wrong with that medicine. It needs to be taken off the market. I’m on my fourth tooth extraction because I pay out-of-pocket
Someone needs to take that stuff off of the counters out of the doctors prescription pads and out of those pharmacies site lines to make cash. The stuff is horrible. The damage is horrible and not to mention it’s $2600 a month for that medicine shame on them.

I took it for two weeks and it did nothing for me. Have you called the manufacturer?

60 mg worked for me, but caused constipation. So, I had to quit.

I don’t have a problem with Qulipta. I probably need to tell doctors about break throughs sometimes.

I contacted the FDA and Mayo Clinic. I’m telling you this is a bad medicine. It worked for the first two months, but I was covered in hives where my doctor told me to take Benadryl and constipation was unbelievably awful along with the hives and then this major teeth sensitivity. It takes six months for it to stop, but since then I’m extracting teeth the dentist is like the nerve endings have gone crazy and I’m getting root canals and extracting teeth I’ve never undergone such an issue in my life. It’s a bad bad drug not to mention. It’s ridiculously priced $2600. They’re out of their minds. I suggest everybody with migraines getting off of it and demanding Botox and have the Botox put over the optical nerves in your forehead on the bone between your eyebrows and on the crown of your head I went 6 1/2 years with what felt like my brain was on fire and putting the Botox on the crown of my head is what’s done the trick Good luck to your migraine suffers

Hi, @0benice - I'm sorry you had hives and tooth sensitivity with Atogepant- oral route (Qulipta). That sounds rough.

Here is the Mayo Clinic information on this medication:

- Atogepant - oral route (Qulipta) https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/atogepant-oral-route/description/drg-20523241

Please do note the potential side effects, which anyone who takes this must be aware of. At the same time, it appears from the members in this discussion that it's had varying effects for different individuals with different anatomies.

What are you and your doctor looking at trying next for your migraine headache prevention, 0benice?

I tried it a few years ago. My mind felt like I was drugged, and not in a good way. I could barely drive safely. I quit it very quickly. And, it did nothing for my migraines. I asked my neurologist if he would have taken it given the side effects and he said no. I hope you do better with it than I did.
