Botox for migraines?

Does anyone take Botox injections for migraines? Has it helped? Pros/cons? My current migraine preventative has become ineffective and I was just looking at options. Thanks!

Have you tried going to a Physical Therapist? What area are you in? Look for someone that can perform functional dry needling and/or a cervical manipulation.

I've had one round of botox injections in my neck muscles for severe, chronic headaches and I truly feel like it has helped. Not a complete 180, but much better!

Wife got it done for TMJ that caused headaches. Helped a lot.

Never tried botox but when my cluster headaches hit, my go-to is imitrex. My script comes in an auto injection setup. Average between 3-5min and headache is gone.

It works, but it's expensive.
Have you looked into biologics like Amovig. It's a once per month injection and has worked wonders for my son's chronic migraine headaches.

I have. I was on Aimovig for 2 years before it became ineffective. Most recently I was on Qulipta and it became ineffective (it was a pill and I certainly didn't miss those shots). I know there are several others like Aimovig, but I was just curious about something totally different, like Botox.

How much water do you drink daily? I’m not suggesting a lack of water is causing migraines, I’m just curious about correlation.

Dehydration can be a trigger for me, so I'm religious about drinking at least 100 oz/day.

I'm in the same boat as you. I've been prescribed every medication out there, few have had little affect, and then my body creates an immunity to them.
I have never tried botox, but a good friend did about a year ago and it dang near killed him. He had a reaction to the botox and spent nearly two weeks in the Hospital. I'm simply afraid to try it after seeing what he went through.
Risk > Reward

It's not so easy. Despite the water lack there are way too much other triggers.
