Atogepant

[Mary1959]

I have just been prescribed Atogepant tablets by my neurologist, as the injections didn't work for me and I've tried practically everything else. Has anyone else tried these and had success? Thankyou

Hi Mary. That's interesting, I finally have an appointment with a neurologist on 10 Feb, also after nothing has helped. I will let you know, and will be interested hear about yr experience. I have heard about Atogepant and am hopeful, as ever😀

I'll keep you posted, how I'm getting on with it. Look forward to hearing how you get on too. Thanks for replying, good luck.

I tried Atogepant and it worked very well. Completely took away the migraine. But I had to stop after 5 weeks as I was getting such bad side effect of upset stomach. However I have a VERY sensitive stomach and most other migraine medication upset my tummy too, so my next step is Botox injections. All the best!

Thankyou for your reply, I hope I can tolerate it and hope you have success with the botox. Take care and good luck

I’ve been taking Atogepant for 3 months. I’ve had some improvement but still getting daily headaches and some migraine. I’m also having some side effects (digestive issues) which I’ve not had before! I’m going to stick with it for another 3 months as my doctor says it can take over 6 months to reach full effect. It hasn’t been the miracle cure I was hoping for! Interesting to hear others experience with it.

It seems the digestive side effects are the worse, I hope and pray they work for me, and hope you find some relief as time goes on. Thankyou for your reply, take care and good luck

I was on Atogepant last year . It made my symptoms worse just like all the other CGRP blockers . As soon as I came off it my acute medication use went down .Hope you have more success than I did

Thankyou for your reply, sorry you've not had more relief from CGRPs, im hoping for an improvement, but won't be surprised if they don't work. I find triptans to be the best relief but neurologist won't prescribe many because of medication overuse headache. And care and hope you feel better
