Thank you for voicing these concerns. Exactly as youve said I've been blown off about the anxiety brought on by qulipta. This was the first migraine medication they tried to give me, as well as giving it to me even though I already have GI issues. I'm a young man and have decided that the risk is not worth the reward for me personally. There are a lot of unanswered questions about these blockers.

You have confirmed to me that my concerns were valid...I took Ajovy for 4 months for chronic vestibular migraine..I had no negative side effects whatsoever and one particularly positive effect in that it 'fixed' my IBS..for the first time in 40 years I have normal bowel movements.....BUT I didn't stay on Ajovy b/c I am 73 and I'm thinking that I now, more than ever, need the vasodilatory effects of CGRP. ......... While the Ajovy did render me VM free 2 additional days a month, giving me 10 VM free days vs 8 VM free days, it was not worth taking the risk that comes with inhibiting CGRP at my age.

Is the study of migraines and heart issues

Thank you. I was on Emgality for about a year, developed muscle pain and cramps, my PCP thought possibly post COVID myalgia or fibromyalgia, my Neuro took me off the Emgality, and said she had several other patients with the muscle pain on it. Now I’m on Quilipta daily, Nurtec rescue in addition to the Botox I’ve been on for 6 years. Muscle pain has improved to a large degree off the mab.

Might stay off CGRP meds.

[@kathypaup]

@@delphiniapickett2934 the benefits outweigh the risks for me. Cgrps are the only medication that have given me any relief from the 8 years of chronic migraine I’ve suffered with and the long list of medications and treatments I’ve tried.

Another very informative talk! Although my main concern with CGRP-inhibitors is the reported negative effect on bone health (I have osteoporosis), before seeing your videos I was not aware of the digestive issues or the reported hair loss. I have experienced both of these symptoms, but didn't attribute them to taking Ajovy. After seeing a previous video of yours, I followed up with an email regarding the bone loss connection. Thank you for addressing these issues. I look forward to hearing any updates.

[@delphiniapickett2934]

Yes hair loss. They won't tell you. $$$

FATIGUE! I slept for a solid month after trial on the IV-CGRP. Serious sleeping, not out of bed, dozing or asleep. Tolerating Aimovig, and it helps moderate the migraine pain level, but all the others CGRP's have had this sleeping side effect for me to a greater or lesser degree.

[@delphiniapickett2934]

Dont ever go back on it ever

[@cc8172]

Was this Vyepti that was the IV CGRP that you tried?

[@kerirhinehart6346]

Thank you so much for this information…

[@10Bod]

Thank you Dr Robbins your voice on this topic is much appreciated. Heart disease runs in my family. I have just lost my mum to stroke. She passed her migraine genes on to me. Thinking these are not for me. Botox will be my preference.

[@Damfinone]

Couldn’t they test CGRP levels prior to administering these therapeutics?

[@EverythingCameFromNothing]

I was thinking the same thing!!

[@shad3128]

Thank you for this. I was a little concerned once on qulipta and nurtec when i would see frequent rises in my blood pressure and stress levels. Not sure if these will wear off or if i should try another medication. Tried so many already and cgrp were only ones to get rid of my pain

[@nataliefoss5629]

I knew I shouldn't have taken this. Im waiting for an MRI. I should not have taken migraine medication. Im so upset... especially without an official migraine diagnosis

[@nataliefoss5629]

Wow I was told its extremely safe. No interaction etc. Because I stated I'm scared and extremely nervous because im very sensitive to meds. Im also diabetic with ckd. Im never taking this again. Especially when I haven't been diagnosed.

[@delphiniapickett2934]

If you are not sure don't do it

[@EverythingCameFromNothing]

Hopefully you didn’t get side effects 🤞
What was the outcome of the MRI?

[@inderjeetsingh4760]

So is migraine is untreatable ?

[@PNWTruckCamper]

Shilling for the botox industrial complex 🤔

[@delphiniapickett2934]

Botox been good for me

[@cc8172]

Helpful for many with bad migraines.
