She has had a daily headache for 2 years now ( she was diagnosed with new daily persistent headache at the U headache department). The aimovig did lessen the frequency and intensity at first but then they went back to normal.

Her doctor had her take a double dose last month and then she had heart palpitations and the doctor said not to take it anymore because it wasn't helping enough.

We never paid anything for the 4 shots. Aimovig has a very good assistance program for those without insurance. The cost without insurance should only be $650 a month, not $1500. Ask your doctor about the assistance program or go to aimovigs website to find the forms. We were told that as long as we had an application pending we wouldn't be charged. But we stopped the process last month and the prescription went through and we would have been charged $150 for the shot.

What kind of headaches do you have and how often do you get them?
