Members shared varied experiences with Botox for migraine treatment, with some reporting significant relief and others experiencing side effects or minimal benefit. Several members described success stories, including reduced migraine frequency when Botox was combined with other medications like Ajovy, Aimovig, or Nurtec, with one member dropping from 28 migraines per month to 15, and another achieving complete migraine elimination. A recurring theme was that neurologists often emphasize patience, as Botox typically requires multiple treatments to reach full effectiveness, though some members experienced immediate relief while others faced complications like bruising, numbness, or increased migraine frequency that led them to discontinue treatment.

I had my first round on December 30th. I have found it to be an effective component with my Aimovig and Propranolol. No migraines since.

I receive treatment every 3 months, and have found that it is a very effective component of my regimen. I also use Ajovy and Nurtec. The combination has reduced my migraines from daily to 1 - 2 a week, which I feel isn't too shabby. Good luck.

The first neurologist that treated me injected me with Botox. He had me come back a month later. I had the same number of migrianes within that a month, so he said it didn't work. Now, I am on my 3rd neurologist. This neurologist wants to try it again.

I've been taking the Botox every 3 months; it has dropped my migraine count from 28 a month to 15 so I made a good progress with it. Still using it because the medication works quite well. Ajovy injections were added on monthly as I needed a boost and Botox wasn't enough. After we did the addition, migraine number dropped again so we're making progress.
