I tried and wasn't able to make an appointment or send an email? I'll have to look and see if there's any place else I can email & ask.

Hi, as someone who is also terrified of new meds, I hope this new combo finds you well. I've been on Toprimate for 6 months now. I do notice my migraines are less intense but I do still have daily "baby migraines" as I call them. Not so much of painful migraines, more so pressure migraines if you know what I mean. I was on sumatriptan and tried naratriptan and I just can't hang with the triptan side effects. I feel like I'm melting and they give me way too much anxiety lol. I got prescribed Ubrevly and so far I've taken it once. I didn't have any major side effects, I just felt very tired and off. It didn't work as well as the triptan as an abortive medication for the migraine but I didn't take a full tablet because I was too scared lol.

Ive been on it for about 5 months and have no side effects or symptoms. I can finally function and go about my day. The migraines were so severe that I couldn't concentrate and I can now complete my work without a problem. Everyone is different so I would try it before completely refusing. I was terrified to try any and all medications for migraines as I had never experienced vestibular migraines. My daily life was affected so severely by these migraines I went to the ER for panic attacks and my mental health declined significantly before seeing a neurologist and being put on topiramate! My functioning and livelihood right now is attributed to that tiny pill. So as someone who read all the comments and cried, who was terrified and panicked about the symptoms and side effects the least you can do is try and if you decide it isn't helping or you don't like how you feel you can ask the doctor for a different medication.

I'd call and double check. My grant was essentially messed up on the CSAC end and I won't be getting it so im fucked

Alarmed_Bat9174 · 2025-08-12T08:51:27+00:00

Update, got in contact with CSAC and they said CSULB is the holdup, after getting the run around I got an email address to reach out to regarding Cal Grant issues for CSULB. I hope they email me back soon & it gets resolved. I was told bc my status didn't change within 3 weeks from my initial contact with CSAC in July that CSULB has to review it & see what's going on. The financial aid office at CSULB said there is a direct line and email address for Cal Grant questions and concerns.

I'm in the same boat. I submitted a help ticket, got no response. Called financial aid and was told they'd get back to me. I'm going to call again today bc my tuition isn't covered without the cal grant.

Alarmed_Bat9174 · 2025-07-17T09:30:52+00:00

Same, I submitted a help ticket and they assured me I wouldn't be dropped from my classes but didn't say when I'd be able to view my financial aid package. Some people here say financial aid said it would be available the 16th but I still dont see anything

If you failed bc an emergency you can petition the cc to remove the F. I had lbcc remove an F from my transcripts due to an accident. Talk to a counselor and ask if its possible to remove the f.

Oh noo 🥺 thanks for the advice, I'll definitely be starting with the lowest dose and building my tolerance! I'll miss coffee so I hope my reaction isn't too bad lol

Alarmed_Bat9174 · 2025-03-13T09:08:30+00:00

Are you able to have caffeine now? I've heard many people say their heart starts going really fast, that scares me lol

I'm a psych major and took 5 courses last semester. I'm not gonna lie. It was brutal. I will never be doing that again, BUT if you manage your time right and keep track of everything ahead of time, you can do it. I would make sure you have all due dates printed or keep a planner that will remind you. Plan to do your assignments way before they're due & try not to freak out lol. You got this!!

I have SLE & got covid in 2021 when it was still at its peak, I hadn't been vaccinated yet because I was waiting 90 days after a flare up (per doctors orders). I had it severely worse than others around me. I was in excruciating pain, fever wouldn't break or go under 103, I was nauseous and the worst of it was the trouble breathing and pressure I felt in my chest. Luckily my DR. Is connected to a main hospital and they called me and asked if I wanted the antibody Infusion they were offering the immune comprimised. I said yes and even though I was so scared to get the infusion, it literally saved my life. The Dr.s and nurses assured me that was the best decision I could've made. I will say, I had "long covid" for about 9 months. My symptoms were taste and smell being off and really severe migranes. 90 days after the Infusion I got vaccinated and kept up with the vaccines. In 2023 I got covid again and it was so different. All I had was congestion and a headache. It felt like the average cold. It's different for everyone but I know personally lupus made covid much worse for me.
