I've been on Botox for about 4 years. I went from having a migraine everyday to having them 2-3 times a week, except during my menstrual cycle. I say it works. It takes 2-3 treatments to get into your system. The 1st treatment is very odd and it's like a bunch of small pinches. I'm a wimp, so maybe that's why. I bruise every time on my forehead. A few very small, hardly noticeable bruises. The temples were the most painful but it's quick. No naproxen before the treatment and you can't lay down or bend over for 4 hours. I got little 30 second migraines throughout the day that were about 10 minutes apart. All of this only happened on my 1st treatment. My doctor said it was common. I get them every 3 months. After around 2 1/2 months my migraines start to pick up again and get more frequent, but not like before. You need to have 16 or more per month to qualify. Also, there's a Botox savings card that will help you pay for your out of pocket expenses. I say go for it! I hope this helps. 😊

Honestly I love Botox and what it does for migraines, personally. Good luck!! 🤓

It didn't work for me. It has been 9 yrs. And new meds are so expensive I could never afford them. I'm single and on disability. Nothing has worked for me either. Good luck if you try it, it may work for you.

I was very leery about the Botox shots as well, but just taking pills wasn't doing enough to stop the pain. I had talked to my neurologist and I trusted him enough to finally try them. The relief was amazing. I admit the first shots took about a day to take full effect and I'm glad I had someone drive me to get them. (I had to travel about 3 hours one-way to my neuro for the shot). The worst of the pain was gone and it stayed gone for 3 months until the next shot. That one was transferred to another neuro 1 1/2 hours away. Been doing that for 2 years every 3 months. I am about to switch to Aimovig, you might ask your doctor about that as well. Good luck .

I tried Botox for a year. Didn’t help at all. I’ve been on Aimovig for this past year. I haven’t had a migraine since I’ve used it. It’s been a miracle drug for me.
