For Migraine Prevention "This is a miracle drug! I am 51 and have had hormonal migraines since I was pregnant 25 years ago. I first started with Qulipta a year ago, right after it was first approved by the FDA. I was the first patient my neurologist prescribed it to. Lost about 15 lbs over the course of a year and have had maybe 5 migraines total this year. No side effects other than weight loss. No issues getting it with the Qulipta card either. Wonderful results!"

For Migraine Prevention "I’ve been on Qulipta 30 mg for almost 6 months. It seems to have lessened them some, however, they are no help for migraines caused by weather changes and stress. We live in the South, and the barometric pressure swings like crazy, causing my migraines. I feel like they aren’t as bad as they were, and I have been on every drug made for migraines and seizures. I go back to my neurologist next month, and he may up the dosage. I have lost weight because I have no appetite. It hasn’t affected my depression or any other health concern, so I’ll stay on it until my doctor does something different."

For Migraine Prevention "Currently take this, and it works fairly well for me. Kind of reminds me of Nurtec with its intended purpose and category. Went from 10-15 migraines a month to 3-6. Only downside, I couldn’t eat much anymore due to loss of appetite and lost a lot of weight. To fix this, I was instructed to cut it in half, which seems to have worked well so far."

For Chronic Migraine "For the last 30 years, I was having one migraine episode every 5 days, and now with Qulipta 30 mg once a day, it's been 2 weeks without any (using samples). I am going to ask for a prescription. It's a wonder drug!!! Finally, my wishes have manifested with this discovery. All usual sensitivity towards migraine triggers have gone. I am so happy with the results, you can't imagine. Yet, I have not seen any weight loss or any side effects in the last 2 weeks. Highly recommend trying this drug. Life changer. I take it with the first tea/snack in the morning."
