Aimovig
Has anyone had any luck with Aimovig? I don't want to start taking it but my Dr wants me to try it. I'm on nortriptyline and I have sumatriptan pills and injections. I follow a migraine diet which did seem to help a lot for a while but not anymore. I'm so tired of battling this.
YES! Many with migraine have had good results with this medication!! Let me share all our information on this medication; https://migraine.com/search?s=Aimovig.

I have been on Aimovig 3 years this month. It has made a huge difference for me. It has cut most of my symptoms in half - quantity, duration and intensity. I was not managing well at all, in fact I had no preventive medication 3 years ago and hadn't for a couple of years. My doctor let me know about Aimovig and I was hesitant myself. Your experience will vary from mine, but I did take it and it has made a difference. Statistically it helps about 50% of people get 50% relief. I hope you find something you are comfortable with. There are several options, including options that are pill versions - they work a bit differently but they (CGRPs and Gepants) both target CGRP. So if one doesn't work, then there are several more options of them to try.
