Members shared mixed experiences with Nurtec for chronic migraine prevention, with some finding it stopped working over time while others use it successfully as both a preventative and abortive medication, though often needing additional treatments. Several members described switching to or supplementing with other medications like Ubrelvy, sumatriptan, Excedrin Migraine, Emgality, or Aimovig injections, and many emphasized that even with multiple prevention strategies, breakthrough migraines still occur. A recurring theme was the trial-and-error nature of migraine management, with members learning to combine different medications and approaches to find what works best for their individual patterns.
