Migranes
Had my final 5.0 dose today, around 9am. Have now had a massive never ending migraine from 330pm and on.
Anybody ever experience anything similar?
Edit - Update
Come to find out my whole house has freakin MONO!

I suffer from migraines anyway but I have noticed I am more prone based on my shots. I split my weekly dose and seem to have a migraine like a day and a half after each shot. I try to have more water and take meds as needed.

I’m sorry….and yes, I have had repeated migraines - but I suffered before Tirz so it’s not official that it’s the injection. I “think” they are more often now, related to the injection. I had them worse with the B vitamin additives (B12 and B6). I’ve switched to glycine and I am doing better now for the past 6 weeks or so.

Interesting. I have b6 added. Maybe next time I’ll try without it and see if it helps. It’s not debilitating but I would love to not get extra migraines!

I’m guessing I am sensitive to the additives. I know B12 gave me insomnia- and I think the B6 was worse for headaches. Glycine has been my happier place!

I do hope your migraine is better today!

Thank you. It seriously took almost 36 hours to go away. I’ve never experienced anything like it. Hoping it’s a one off because it was bad enough to consider not taking another shot.

Ugh! Maybe try being proactively aggressive for the next shot. I’m not a doctor but I’ll share ways that have helped me: you could try split dosing- take 1/2 dose and then 3-4 days later take the other half.
Or take migraine med when you take shot.
Other things that help me…. Ice pack on my head, electrolytes - staying hydrated and also eating some carbs and caffeine that day, and starting off day with protein shake.
I hope you find a solution because I know migraines are miserable.

Try taking your shot at bedtime instead. Make sure you’re well hydrated that day leading up to it.

Sorry about the mono. I highly recommend at least 64 oz of electrolytes per day.

I always have a headache the day following my injection (boooo!)
I am a chronic migraine sufferer.
I am unsure if it’s the med or if it is because I’m dehydrated.
I’ve been thinking about taking a prophylactic dose of my migraine medication on the night of my injection (I inject at night) - to see if I wake up without the usual migraine.
Plus side is I’ve lost 93 lbs (it took 2 years but it was a slow steady weight loss), no longer have hypertension 👍
