The day time side effects lasted for 7 weeks. I am still struggling with the insomnia. Initally I took Xanax as this was the only thing to make the side effects bareable but this wasn't sustainable after a couple of weeks so I switched to Melatonin which has helped. For anyone else struggling with this drug it does wear off but slowly.

Comment: I am a 55 year old man with chronic migraine. I injected 140mg having read that the only side effects were constipation and injection site soreness. The side effects started 24 hours later and didnt' include the ones stated, chronic insomnia, racing heart, hot and cold flushes, feeling sick and spaced out and terrible headaches. I don't know why anyone would take this drug.

The side effects started 24 hours later and didnt' include the ones stated, chronic insomnia, racing heart, hot and cold flushes, feeling sick and spaced out and terrible headaches that don't respond to any of my normal preventatives such as triptans. The side effects only started to diminish after about 10 days but are still present three weeks later. Can't wait for this drug to be out of my system.

I've been taking Aimovig for approximately 18 months. While it's greatly reduced the number and intensity of my migraines, I've noticed that it starts to "wear off" about a week before my next dose it due. I tend to get 2-3 migraines in that week when I normally get 1-2 migraines a month. While I'm also not a fan of it being an auto-injector, the discomfort is minimal com ... Show Full Comment

I've been taking Aimovig for approximately 18 months. While it's greatly reduced the number and intensity of my migraines, I've noticed that it starts to "wear off" about a week before my next dose it due. I tend to get 2-3 migraines in that week when I normally get 1-2 migraines a month. While I'm also not a fan of it being an auto-injector, the discomfort is minimal compared to 10-15 migraines a month like I had prior to using Aimovig.
