Since Qulipta caused allergic reactions, it makes sense to explore other options — and Botox is definitely worth discussing with a neurologist or headache specialist.

Botox is FDA-approved for chronic migraine prevention in adults who experience 15 or more headache days per month. It works by blocking pain signals from nerves in the head, face, and neck. Vestibular migraines are generally treated similarly to other migraine types, so Botox could be a reasonable option to consider. Here's what to keep in mind about Botox:

- Results aren't immediate — it may take several rounds of injections over months before noticing a difference
- Injections are given roughly every 12 weeks, across 7 areas of the head, face, and neck
- It doesn't work for everyone, but many people do see fewer or less severe migraine days
- A MyMigraineTeam member shared going from 4–6 migraines a week down to 1–2 after two years of Botox

Common side effects can include neck pain, bruising, flu-like symptoms, or temporary changes in appearance (like arched eyebrows). More serious but rare side effects include vision changes, muscle weakness, or difficulty swallowing — report those to a doctor immediately.

Talking to a neurologist about your history with Qulipta and your vestibular migraine symptoms will help determine if Botox is the right next step for you.
