i finally got prescribed neurtec! i’ve been on sumatriptan, rizatriptan, and i think one other. I finally turned 18 in 2024, got prescribed Ubrevly 50mg. switched to a new non-pediatric doctor now that i’m 20, and he upped my prescription of ubrevly to 100, and gave me neurtec. i haven’t taken the neurtec until today, i have been migraine free for about 5 months until last week, i had 1 on sunday, then one today(wednesday). i now decided to start taking neurtec now that my episodes have come back. on Sunday, i noticed the ubrevly higher dosage helped my overall recovery time, but i still felt awful. my head felt heavy, classic hangover symptoms, weakness, lingering nausea, etc. this morning, i had a migraine, took my ubrevly as usual, then finally decided to take neurtec on the spot. the taste wasn’t too bad but the texture of it being stuck under my tongue and the lingering medicine taste made me nearly vomit. my recovery was about 4 hours as opposed to 8-12 without it. i felt pretty dazed a few hours after finally being able to function again, and it was noticeable by others. not sure if this was just classic migraine hangover symptoms, or maybe the medicine. either way, it was a noticeable difference. my head hurt significantly less and i didn’t really have the lingering soreness after. yay. i might try to just swallow the neurtec next time, as i was instructed to take it every other day. i don’t know if i can handle the taste/texture of mint medicine chalk under my tongue without gagging.
