I’m on my fifth month of 140 mg of Aimovig and definitely have an vast improvement. Down to two, three a month. I then take a Relpax and fifteen minutes later I’m good to go. This drug has changed my life for the better.

I've been taking Aimovig since June. Started at the 70 dose and needed bumped up to the 140 dose. It has cut my chronic daily migraines approximately 1/2 to 2/3. It hasn't been a miracle drug but one that I'll keep taking for the relief it has given me.

Just started my 2nd one a few days ago, so far possibly some acne though I had started a new shampoo at the same time so it may have been that. I switched shampoos now, so hopefully no acne this 2nd time around! Haven't noticed anything else with it! When you give yourself the injection, I'd recommend doing it on the outer side of the thigh near the back on the fatty part, doesn't hurt at all and hardly even notice after the injection :)

I am on my 7th Month. Overall I haven’t seen anything to show a significant gain of decline in monthly migraines.
