Aimovig side effects

Had great success getting rid of Migraines and Chronic Daily Headache with Aimovig injection. But have side effect of chronic constipation, trapped wind and abdominal pains (IBSc sufferer). The clinical pharmacist is telling me just to take laxatives (which then leave me with unpredictable diarrhoea) and is surprised as none of her other patients have this side effect. Anyone else had success sorting out that side of things with Aimovig?

My daughter who is now 49 has suffered debilitating migraines for years, alongside IBS-D, PCOS, gluten free, and stress to the extent she was off work last autumn for three weeks. She finally saw a neurologist privately who prescribed the new migraine drug Ramagipant for her-she had to buy the first month-£275 in case it didn't work, but it did! Now her GP prescribes it for her and it has been a life-changer! Apart from various foods which trigger the IBS-D she has been almost migraine free-she has a lot of stress at work which hasn't helped, but it seems she has turned a corner, so maybe it's the drug that you can't tolerate and a change might help.
