Anyone had success with CGRP injections please?

Tried everything else! Triptans can work for me if I catch it early enough but I would like to take them most days! Is there a CGRP that works like a triptan. Thank you all very much.

CGRP treatments are preventative treatments taken monthly by injection rather than an acute treatment. I have been on the ajovy treatment for 7 months with limited results. Some months it has cut the number of migraine days but not all months. I am going to be changing to another CGRP treatment soon. I have chronic migraines so if your are episodic they may be more effective.

I've been on Ajovy CGRP for about a year and a half again with mixed results. The first year was fantastic but this year hasn't been very good. Although it does seem to greatly reduce the severity just not the frequency. Apparently one of the CGRP's is close to being approved by NICE for use with episodic migraines as far as I know it is not available yet?
