"I have been a lifelong headache sufferer for over 50 years, experiencing as many as 15-20 headaches a month. I have pretty much tried every option out there, from beta blockers to Botox and even acupuncture, with no real substantial benefit. I used to take 3-4 ibuprofen for each episode, but over the past 10 years, I could only take a triptan to abort the pain. I have been on only 10 mg of QULIPTA nightly for almost 3 months and have only had about 6 headaches. I haven't had too many side effects other than dealing with constipation, which I have had most of my life anyway, probably due to other meds. I'm going to stay on this for now to see how it goes for a few more months, but so far I am pleased with the results. I had to get this approved by my insurance company, and they wanted me to purchase it from a mail away service. I am currently using the Qulipta savings card, which is fantastic. I just need to purchase it at the local pharmacy."

"I started taking Qulipta about 2 months ago. I've suffered from migraines since I was 3. I have had chronic headaches my whole life. I've tried so many medications, and the side effects were crazy, and I couldn't take them. This is the first medication that actually works. The only side effects I really have are constipation and fatigue. And my appetite has decreased, which is fine with me. I highly recommend!"

"I have been on 60mg of Qulipta for about a month. It's been great for my migraines. I only had one. I normally have 4 to 5 a week. I unfortunately had to stop taking it due to severe stomach issues. I had major constipation and bloating. My stomach looked like I was 4 months pregnant. Extremely uncomfortable. I can't live on laxatives every day either. Plus my insurance doesn't cover the medication and I can't afford to pay $1,200 every month. I will go back to taking Aimovig, which is covered and gave me no side effects."

"I am in my 50s. History of chronic migraines for 30 years (20+ migraine days/month). Started 30mg Qulipta in December. Initial nausea for the first few weeks. Migraines were down to 1-2 a month, however, they have crept up again in the last 4 weeks, 2-3 migraine days per week. Going to try the 60 mg dose. The first few months on Qulipta were magical!"

"I’m 23 y/o and developed chronic daily migraines after a TBI. My migraines are largely vestibular, with frequent classic migraines as well. I was on Qulipta for 6 months and it brought my daily migraines down to about 15-20 migraine days per month, and the pain, vertigo, dizziness, etc. were all eased significantly. I had 0 side effects. My neurologist ended up switching me to one of the CGRP injectables and it does not work nearly as well. I miss Qulipta every day."

"13 days ago I started 30 mg daily of Qulipta with zero expectations. Today, I am going on day 13 of not having a migraine. I can honestly say this medication has changed my entire life in only 13 days. Upon taking my first dose, the first three days following, I had horrendous sharp stomach pain and constipation. These side effects are finally easing up but not entirely. For me, the pros versus cons in taking this medication was something I really thought long and hard about before taking it. I ultimately decided that stomach pain over multiple migraines a week was something I could deal with. I’m hoping it’s temporary and will subside even more than it already has. I have also been tired in a way that is kind of hard to describe but not to the point where I can’t function on a regular level. I feel like my body is getting used to this medication slowly but it feels like it's working! I can still feel the mood changes associated with my migraines, which is crazy, but overall 10/10"

"I have found results really quickly but as my body adjusted I needed a higher dose. 60mg. I am very impressed. I was in pain daily and limited all activities just to prevent a migraine attack. This has become my new preventative. Only 3 weeks in though."

"I've had chronic migraines since I was 13 and headaches before 13 years old. I've been on MULTIPLE medications, some help but none really take them away. I got Qulipta prescribed to me (I take 60mg in the morning daily) and ever since I've been on it, they have improved so much. I'll occasionally get a headache but it's not like the others. I haven't had any side effects that are listed on the bottle or what your doctor tells you (but it might not be the same for you)."

"Qulipta has been a life changer for me. I've tried every medication, diet change, and all-natural remedies to no avail. I cut my 60 mg pill in half because I don't have insurance. Since day one of taking the meds, I've barely had any migraines. I went from 3-4 days in bed all day to 0. At first, I was afraid they would come back, but after 3 months on the meds, I have hope. I've only had one or two less severe migraines in 3 months. Unbelievable for me. I thought I would never find help. The only side effects I've had is constipation, so I take a stool softener 2x per day, and that has helped. The constipation was so bad it was like having cement in my bowels. No kidding. Also, I've experienced a little problem with staying asleep, but I’ll take that any day over being bedridden. I highly recommend Qulipta and hope it becomes more affordable soon."

"I have tried multiple different prescription medications for migraine prevention; literally, none of them worked, and I had all but given up hope that I'd ever be free from the plague of chronic migraines. Until my neurologist put me on Qulipta 60 mg/day, I went from approximately 15 migraines a month down to 2. I can't say enough good things!"

"I take 30mg/day, and for the first time in thirty years, I'm able to stave off a headache with ibuprofen, which used to be completely ineffective. I'm taking my rescue meds very infrequently - maybe once every month or two - when I used to ration them. I'm waking up feeling rested almost every day for the first time in my life, as well."
