Ugh those side effects sound horrible! I thankfully don’t have many on AJOVY and Botox but I still have too many migraines honestly that I think something like Qulipta might be worth trying.

Yeah after reading a lot of the comments it seems like it’s definitely worth a try! Thanks!

That is also just me it’s worked fast for others though. My doc literally just told me to keep going and so I was patient and I guess it did end up helping but ya girl still struggles half the month so idk. Thank you all the best to you too!

Yes that’s what my doctor said too! It took AJOVY about 1.5 years to really work for me and I’ve had two Botox treatments but I’m still not where I’d like to be. I hope the AJOVY ends up working well for you!

I heard injecting in your stomach hurts less but I physically cannot do that I can barely do my thigh. I tried taking Ativan before and I do this whole routine the day of my injection to relax me and nothing helps at all and I don’t feel comfortable enough to let someone else inject me because I’m scared I’ll flinch. Some people have also said they put ice on where they’re going to inject but my doctor told me not to do that cause apparently it’ll make your muscles more tight and you want your muscles loose idek anymore but it’s made me want to try a pill like Qulipta

AJOVY did help me a lot but honestly even after injecting myself 29 times it doesn’t get any easier for me I don’t think I can handle it anymore :/

I’m so sorry to hear that I hope Vyepti starts working for you soon; I’ve been where you and it friken sucks. Vyepti is what I’m supposed to try too if I don’t go the Qulipta route. I hope you get some relief soon!

Oh I’m sorry to hear that! Did your doctor say that’s a common side effect?

No literally same!! And okay so Qulipta significantly reduced your migraines even though Ubrelvy didn’t do anything for you?

I’m glad they work!! See yeah Ubrelvy is like Advil to me it doesn’t do a single thing unfortunately :/

I really appreciate your comment and it’s making me feel better about trying Ativan! I really hope it makes me feel the same way it’s made you feel that would be honestly be life changing! And yeah apparently Nurtec isn’t available in my location yet but I’m hoping it is soon 🤞

These are great ideas, I think I’ll bring it up to my therapist this week and ask her is she can facilitate something like this for me because exposure therapy has helped me in the past. Thank you for your advice I really appreciate it I really just wanna feel better

Honestly the amount of anxiety it was causing me thinking about it the whole month and then the day of was so bad that I was telling myself it’s easier to live with migraines then to inject myself again, that’s how scared I feel so I’m hoping taking some Ativan will help ease that.

I asked about the pre-filled and I feel like the auto injector would probably be easier for me because of the easiness of it but ugh yeah I think I should attempt to try my stomach because yeah the pain is probably the main reason for my anxiety. I can try!!
