Has Anyone Tried Botox For Migraine And Was It Helpful?

I tried Botox years ago for 12 months and it did not work. My current Neurologist wanted to try it again. It has been over 12 months again and I don't feel a difference.
I have had others say it reduces the number of migraines they have. Not me.

I did 2 rounds (78 shots) and it did nothing but deplete my wallet. My insurance deductible for it was $250 each round. It has worked for some people I know though. Give it a try.

It really helps me but starts wearing off after two months and I still have breakthrough migraines - about three a month. This past month has been horrible with all the weather. I am now getting a monthly Aimovig shot on top of the botox. I think it's worth trying!

Botox was a NO for me. Neurologist said I have too many migraines for it to work. Iā€™m desperate constantly suffering daily with pain. I tried it and failed. Way too painful with 125 units. It gave me a headache. I went back to work afterwards. And I had to go home immediately and sleep it off.
