My Neurologist Put Me on Emgality

Hi !

I am on Emgality, but I do get breakthrough migraines- I use either Sumatriptan injection or Rizatriptan pills. It seems to go in waves for me, I'm having a few more than I usually do, I think it could be a side effect of a new medicine.

I hope this helps! Thanks for sharing with us. ~Melanie (team member)

Hi! I am also on Emgality for Chronic Migraine. My neurologist just put me on Ubrelvy for my break through migraines. She could only prescribe 8 for a month, so I have to make a weighty decision each time if this is the right time to take it. Ubrelvy has a side affect of nausea, and it really came to the forefront with migraine nausea already. My doctor prescribed phenerghan to go with it and I just know to take it at the same time, because the nausea will follow 20-30 minutes after taking the pill if I don’t already have it from my migraine. It may be working totally different for someone else. I’m hoping as I become more adjusted to the drug that the side effect will go away. Wishing the best to all of you!

I was only able to use Emgality for 5 months. Due to an increasingly severe allergic reaction, I had to stop the medicine. My neurologist gave me samples of Ubrelvy, but it did nothing for my migraines. Then I was given samples of Nurtec, & this helped. But a prescription for 8 tablets would cost me about $98 which is unaffordable for me. Next I was given Butalbital/Acetaminophen/Caff Tabs which are affordable but do nothing for a migraine.

Mine put me on the injection at the beginning of the year. Has anyone heard of an injection version? It helped lessen the pain for a while, but now it's useless. I need to talk to him about it. I also have MS, a migraine that disabled me was a huge symptom! I'm known to become immune to the effects of a medication that I take over time. Thankfully hasn't been a problem with my MS medicines! Whew!
