Vertigo rebound

I was diagnosed with Vestibular migraines a little over 2 years ago. I had consistent vertigo that never went away until I started Emgality 9 months ago.

Since starting Emgality, my symptoms have vastly improved (unfortunately not to the point that I can work, but to the point that it wasn't constant anymore). For the past 2 weeks though, I've been waking up with vertigo again, and it usually turns into fighting off a painful migraine throughout the day.

My neurologist wants to start me on botox, but it's taking awhile due to issues with health insurance (hopefully I'll start it next month).

Has anyone else had symptoms become more present again after starting an anti-cgrp? Has botox been an answer for you?

I'm really worried about it becoming severe again. I needed a rollator to get around when my symptoms were at their worst, and I'm taking online college courses now, so the stakes feel higher.
