User Reviews for Aimovig Autoinjector (2 Pack) subcutaneous

I have had migraines since I was about 10, they’ve gotten worse through the years. I got to a point where I was having migraines at least 3-4 times a week every week. I’ve tried so many other medications and methods, and when Aimovig was suggested to me I was excited to try. This medication has been life changing, absolutely the most relief I’ve had with any medication I’ve ever tried. I can honestly say my migraines are rare now, getting them maybe once every two weeks. It’s absolutely amazing. It’s also made it so I can enjoy a glass of wine and I don’t get a blinding migraine or even a headache and that makes me really happy too. I also use to end up taking Sumatriptan every time I had a migraine because nothing would make it go away, but with Aimovig I can usually take ibuprofen or excederine and go to sleep and it goes away. Sometimes even just peppermint oil will make my headaches go away now. I also just had my second baby and stopped using the Aimovig while pregnant. Didn’t have migraines the whole time I was pregnant, and then as soon as I had her I’ve been having migraines 4 times a week again. Can’t wait to get back on it when I’m done nursing. This medication is seriously awesome for anyone whose suffering from chronic migraines. Also so easy to use and once a month. Read More Read Less

I tell people all the time that Aimovig in combination with Botox LITERALLY saved my life because I was seriously contemplating suicide my quality of life was so bad. After a botched spinal tap caused a massive cerebral spinal fluid leak that couldn’t be repaired with an EBP back in March 2016, I was left with various debilitating types of headaches/migraines including, Daily Persistent Headache Syndrome/Refractory Headaches & Migraines, Hemiplegic Migraines, Cluster headaches, and Silent Ocular Migraines. I spent at least 4-7 days out of every month admitted inpatient to the hospital to get treatment for about the first 2 years after my medical injury. I lived in my bedroom with blackout curtains, sunglasses on 24/7 and sometimes even with ear plugs in, I couldn’t watch TV, Read, go outside during daylight hours and even struggled going to the grocery store at night bc i couldn’t handle the lighting… I wanted to die. After trying Botox a few times, I did notice some improvement but not nearly enough to have any decent quality of life. We added Aimovig in combination with Botox, Gabapentin, Vimpat, Propranolol, Zonisamide, Tizanidine, Promethazine, Toradol IM injections and Occipital Nerve Blocks. After 4-5 months, I finally started to get some relief. It’s now 5 years after my injury and my quality of life has improved SIGNIFICANTLY! I’m still disabled, unable to work and struggle with headaches of some degree daily but they’re much more tolerable now than compared to before. I am able to watch television, have my blinds open during the day and even leave my house to run errands on my own many days now! I know most people hate shots but I really love that this is a super simple once a month pen type injection so I have one less oral medication to take every day! It’s absolutely worth a try, it just may change your life! I have ZERO side effects??Read More Read Less

Aimovig has been the migraine medication I have been waiting for! I would recommend any migraine sufferer to TRY it. After all, you will not know if it does/does not work for you if you do not try it. At first, I put off trying Aimovig because it is an injectable medication, but I wish I would have tried it sooner. The injectable pen is VERY easy to use, and I barely feel the needle prick. (Hint: I found that if I pinch the injection site area hard enough, I do NOT feel the needle. The pinch is worse than the needle prick.) Although I still have migraines, they are not as severe. Meaning I would get a 3-4 day migraine, 4 times a month. Debilitating. I now have on the average a 1-2 day migraine, 1-2 times a month. As I said before, this is the migraine medication I have been waiting (18 years) for! Read More Read Less

after having migraines for years and trying EVERYTHING I thought maybe this would be the miracle cure. NOT! I had my doctor show me how to inject it. No side effects but no help at all in the headache dept. Took the next one, nothing. Let a month go by and tried it again. NOTHING not doing it again and its expensive my co pay is $170 disappointng
