Hi there , Thank you for reaching out & for your question. I am very sorry to hear that you have been experiencing weight gain likely from your medication. Have you discussed this with your doctor? Unfortunately weight gain can be a common side effect from some medications. Let me share this resource with you. https://migraine.com/blog/the-emotional-turbulence-of-gaining-weight-on-a-migraine-preventive/. Hopefully others will be along as well to share their experiences & feedback. Reach out anytime. Warmly, Joanna (Migraine.com Team)
