Has anyone tried this with success? I did a couple months of Emgality samples that worked great but insurance won’t cover it. Trying the venaflaxine next- I have tried everything else.
Do you see a Neurologist or specialist for your migraines. My doctor fills out all of the paperwork for me including any necessary appeals and they are usually much more successful than I have been… read more
I am on Ajovy,Ubrelvy,and Qulipta
My migraines are definitely triggered by the barometric pressure going down. It doesn't seem to bother me when it rises. I live in the Calgary, Alberta, Canada region and we have the worst BP changes in the country. Used to love the Chinooks over the mountains as it brings warmer weather but now that I have migraines, I dread them.
I get one almost every time the B. Pressure changes. If I take a ubrelvy as soon as I get the first sign of a migraine I can avoid severe pain. Just have the "dull" pain/pressure
I take Ubrelvy when a migraine is moderate to severe, but when it's relatively mild I find that a 25mg CBD gel cap helps a lot. Has anyone else had this experience? What about THC?
I'm off Ubrelvy because of the ridiculous cost. Now I'm on Nurtec, with mixed results. I have tried a THC gummy. Not sure if that was significantly better than CBD alone. Tricky stuff!
On and off all day today and my cocktail of meds and oxygen treatments are just not working today and pollen is off the charts. I grin and bare it. So used to them, I do not let them control me. I carry on.

What do you guys know about triptan overuse headaches?
I just learned of them from a nurse at my neurologist’s office. This had never been mentioned before by my neurologist and he prescribes me 30 rizatriptans per month and 7 frovatriptans per month, which covers my 20 migraines (if they decide to work). However, I had no idea that by taking the prescribed medication as directed, I could actually be causing more migraines. But if I don’t take them, I’m in excruciating pain and am… read more
Glad to hear that worked for you. Valproic acid has many possible severe side effects including affecting liver causing death and pancreatitis. Each person has to weight the benefits vs the risks… read more
