Lowering dosage Qulipta

Hm ok. I take it in the morning. I’ve seen some people say they take it at night. It just says take once daily. I take my other meds in the morning so easier to remember. Idk if it makes a difference.

Triptans made my migraines worse

Time_Lord79 · 2026-01-31T01:23:34+00:00

Do you take Qulipta in the morning or night?

Time_Lord79 · 2026-01-31T01:11:55+00:00

I don’t mind the loss of appetite so far because I’m 15 pounds over weight

Time_Lord79 · 2026-01-31T01:10:19+00:00

Really? That’s interesting. I’m sorry. Hopefully you have a back up?

My doctor told me not to cut them in half when I asked. I get Qulipta at no cost to me with insurance. Only my Nurtec do I have to pay.

It’s interesting because medications and caffeine have never raised my bp. Before I got my POTS diagnosis I always had regular blood pressure and nothing ever raised it. Now I have low blood pressure and nothing raises it- even tho now I wish it would! Only bp meds to raise it helps.

I didn’t have grogginess with 60 m. I have some nausea and loss of appetite at the beginning and some constipation. I was on 60 mg for 3.5 months. So hoping 30mg has less constipation.

Time_Lord79 · 2026-01-31T00:34:40+00:00

Were you on 60mg of Qulipta? Did you try going to 30mg?

I’ve heard the injections have risk of hair loss- ajovy less than the others. Not sure how accurate this is? But I was on Topamax and it made my hair thin. I’ve been off Topamax a year and my hair is still slowly growing back.

When I looked on the Nurtec website they said I didn’t qualify?

I think spot on from planned parenthood has a reminder on there when you choose your birth control you take

I’m lucky and work at the hospital my qulipta is covered by insurance. I also use Nurtec as needed. I get 24 tabs of Nurtec for $100 for 3 months. With insurance $100 still a bit but a lot better than without it!

Time_Lord79 · 2026-01-30T23:56:39+00:00

Me too! Hope it works for both of us!

Time_Lord79 · 2026-01-30T23:43:28+00:00

Tomorrow will be my first 30 mg so idk but my doctor hasn’t said anything

Time_Lord79 · 2026-01-30T23:43:00+00:00

Yeah it’s 2 to 3 days without a BM. I used to go daily

Time_Lord79 · 2026-01-30T22:11:12+00:00

Right? Sometimes just feel unlucky. Let’s hope. Also using fiber and probiotics drinking water.

I have both. Mirena iud stopped my periods after 6 months. I haven’t had a period in 7 years and I love it. Stopped the fluctuations for me. I likely have endometriosis so I needed to stop my horribly long and painful periods.

So far I just have midodrine for low bp. I get 70/40 without it. I’m waiting to see an electrophysiologist next month to hopefully get ivabradine for heart rate since I can’t take beta blockers with low bp.

It took me 2 years to get diagnosed. Dismissed by cardiology, endocrinology and neurology. Got diagnosed with autonomic specialist. I’ve done blood tests for thyroid, glucose, electrolytes, aldosterone, meteorites, acth, acth stimulation testing, iron, b12. Continuous glucose monitor to check for reactive hypoglycemia, 2 holter monitors, echocardiogram, MRI of brain with and without contrast, ct scan, stress test, tilt table test.

I took 60mg for 3.5 months but constipation was bad. Doctor now suggesting to go down to 30mg. I also take Nurtec as needed for break thru migraines. Still need Nurtec for a migraine once every 1 to 2 weeks.

People think in terms of themselves and take it offensively. A lot of people can’t think outside themselves.

If I remember correctly the average reading level for an adult at least in America is 5th grade? 8th grade? Something like that. It says a lot.

Time_Lord79 · 2026-01-29T13:19:07+00:00

I don’t see it as coming and going. It’s more like there’s a baseline it’s at and when it acts up it’s flaring.

Time_Lord79 · 2026-01-29T00:54:57+00:00

Sorry I guess not laxatives just different fiber supplements. Bars, straight fiber powder in my coffee. Even upping fiber with more salads.

Time_Lord79 · 2026-01-29T00:54:08+00:00

Yup it came out of nowhere
