My experience-Reporting Medication Reactions

---

When I saw my neurology headache specialist last week she told me that I needed to find out how to report medication side effects so that if enough people have them they can be added to the warning labels and doctors can warn patients and know that those side effects are happening when they aren't originally listed.

I've been taking Aimovig 70 MG Injections, once a month, for 3 months now. The first month I didn't really notice anything. The second month I had really bad jaw pain. The third month I had full body joint pain and some severe muscle tightness that sent me to Urgent Care.

After reading tons of patient reviews and talking to ppl in my social media groups that had similar reactions thats whwn i decided to talk to my doctor. She wasn't sure where to report it, just that there should be a way. That its the only way to get drug reactions added to medications.

So, I did a little research and found that the FDA allows you to voluntarily report drug reactions online, by phone, or by paper report that can be faxed or mailed in. So that's exactly what I did.

I cannot stress enough how important this is. In my experience so far, everyone is a little different in what works to treat their migraines. Knowing the side effects of the medications we have to basically play " Russian Roulette" with in order to find prevention and relief can help a lot.
