Has anyone tried the new migraine drug Qulipta? [View all]
It was just approved by the FDA in September for migraine prevention. My neurologist gave me a month’s supply of samples from the manufacturer.
The. Migraines. Just. Stopped.
After the first dose of the once-daily pill the migraines just went away. I’ve been dealing with migraines for 40 years and they just suddenly stopped.
My insurance doesn’t cover Qulipta yet, so my doctor put me in direct contact with the manufacturer and they are shipping the medication directly to my house. At no charge. If I had to pay for the drug, it would cost me about $1,000 a month.
I cannot adequately explain how life-changing this has been. I’ve been on Qulipta for about 6 weeks. No more worrying about how much water I’m drinking, or my potassium and sodium levels, or avoiding certain foods, or not getting enough sleep, or low-pressure weather systems, all of which used to be triggers for me.
The. Migraines. Just. Stopped.
On the first day that I started Qulipta, they just went away. This has been a miracle for me. The last 10 years have been utter hell. Even with Botox injections from my neurologist and once-a-month Ajovy injections, I was averaging 2 migraines a week. Before using these 2 prevention drugs, I was averaging 5 migraines a week. It was so bad that there were times that I thought about suicide. I wouldn’t describe myself as suicidal, but nobody can endure that type of pain day after day, with no hope of relief.
Qulipta changed everything for me.
