Has anyone had success with Botox for migraines?

I have been on sumatriptan, which helped somewhat. Now taking Nurtec (better and quicker in terms of relief). I used to be on Botox for my migraines (I had them for days and also have my fair share of migraine “cocktails”, unfortunately about year ago my insurance stopped covering the cost and I had to pay cash which I couldn’t afford (over 2k) but it was by far the most effective treatment. I did Botox injections for about 4 years. Now I’m doing monthly injections (Amivog) and it’s almost as effective but not as good as the Botox; With the Botox I had 1-3 migraine in a month and Amivog I average 2-6 a month. So a slight increase but still better than the 20+ I was having.

I'm on ubrelvy and qulipta and they are amazing

Migraines started when i was 29 along with a few autoimmune diseases. Definitely hormonally related for decades. Chemo (AC) was the only thing that actually really helped (only a few a month). Then about 9 months later, i let the oncologist give me a Lupron shot for both the cancer and for migraines. Backfired. Brought on daily migraines for next year and 70% the next. Anyway, the point is that after the fact, my primary doc said that he would never recommend an injection med for migraines. (He also gets migraines). Reasoning is if your body doesnt like it, its too late. You can't stop it. My oncologist didnt even take responsibility for it. He was convinced that the return of the migraines wasnt his fault as it should have only lasted a month. He may know cancer but sucked at migraines. So, i recommend caution. Also note in the Botox commercial. They mention what something like 90% of current Botox users wish they had asked their doctors for Botox earkier. So misleading. If Botox didnt work or had negative effects, those peolle wouldnt be "current Botox users".

My doctor prescribed me Nortec with the Botox and that’s really helping. I’ve only been taking it for two months and that’s just one tablet under the tongue and it lasts about A month.

Hello. I’ve been on Botox for five years and it only helps me 50%. It was better for the first two years.
