Atogepant vs Erenumab

**Update:** Thank you so so much to everyone who has commented here. I'm sorry that I've been slow replying - I've actually spent the past few days since posting in an on and off migraine episode, so avoiding screens. Just to say how much I appreciate everyone for leaving kind thoughtful comments an

Note: Title is slightly incorrect because I have not taken the nasal spray Zavegepant (Zavzpret) as it is not available where I live. Info: I am 22 years old, female, with sporadic hemiplegic migraines. I started having migraines in 2017 and went through many, many tests, treatments, and medications

This nothing but a celebratory post. Having had a very shitty experience with the NHS and a particularly self-righteous gate keeping doctor, I finally saw a consultant today and have a prescription for Atogepant!! It’s been a long road, I’ve suffered with migraines for 16 years and it’s been a long

Just wanted to write this up as I've read lots of conflicting information on this subreddit, and it can especially be confusing when talking about UK healthcare, when the subreddit is primarily US based. Standard caveat that this was my own personal experience and may not be reflective of the UK tre

Just had my first ever neurologist appointment at an NHS headache clinic, and idk if my expectations were too high or what, but I was honestly kind of floored by the lack of compassion the neurologist showed or even like curiosity or interest. Firstly, the patient who was in before me was running l

The pain is usually across my forehead and temples, behind my eyes, neck abs upper back, when it’s real bad my jaw is in pain and pain in my ears. The pain is often pressurised, like something is pushing inside my head or temples and it feels like a drill would relieve it. Sometimes it’s also shooti

I’ve been working at a small local pharmacy for about six months now. Long story short, I’ve noticed multiple (hundreds if not more) prescriptions that have been billed to insurance but the patient never received. It’s always brand meds like Nurtec, Qulipta, Ubrelvy, etc. We mostly use a third party

Hello everyone! It only occurred to me today the there should be a Reddit group for people with migraine. I’m a family doctor from Chile (excuses for my English!), and I’ve suffered migraines for most of my life. I’ve tried pretty much every single preventive medication. Currently I’m with a monthly

Hi guys! I have this list of things to try (some I’ve!) and I thought I’d share. I included some of the usual stuff, because you never know what can help someone else! :) Please feel free to share your experiences with any of these/ to add some more if you want to! Take - Magnesium - Feverfew - But

So I noticed that aimovig is called erenumab-aooe. The last part of that I think is pronounced **owie** (I can't think of how else that mash up of vowels should be pronounced) and because it's for migraines I think...*well played aimovig* I also noticed some time ago that Forfivo (buproprion 450mg)

In the act, they cite material to which they referred to assist their decision making. One study is from the UK, where vaping is appreciated and encouraged because it helps a lot of people stop inhaling carcinogenic tobacco smoke and so far, has not delivered any notable health problems. It's been a

I got given the option to trial erenumab today while going for my 12 weekly Botox appointment. I had to choose between the two and thought it seemed worth a shot. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s tried it yet, especially anyone that’s also tried Botox. How was your experience? Did it help (espec

Hi r/pharmacy, Pharmacy student here in Australia, where erenumab (Aivomig) is supposed to be approved this November. I just wanted to get ahead of the curve and find out how many patients you see prescribed this medication, whether they are concommitantly taking other prophylaxis, and if they take
