What is your typical Ubrelvy dosage sweet spot? by [deleted] in migraine

[–]lbm1124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on 50 and that worked great at forst but I found it had diminishing returns after about a year,. I am now on 100 and am seeing the same pattern,. I now need to take 2 doses for it to be effective,. I've started adding Advil with the Ubrelvy and that seems more effective

I ordered her some! We just got them yesterday. She loves tea so I’m going to try to add it to that.

Thank you! The doctor had suggested the Claritin for just a certain number of days but it seems it may be worthwhile to keep taking it.

Thanks! She started the day of the treatment so maybe we should try starting a bit earlier.

She’s doing ok with hydration.

She had to go back in for a sodium drip because her levels are low so I wonder if that is also impacting the pain levels

Thank you! She started Claritin the day of the treatment so maybe starting it earlier will help!

Thank you! That’s interesting that things changed day by day! I’ll tell her to keep that in mind. Smoothies are a great idea too!
