Yesterday I had a terrible migraine for about 4 hours straight because my jaw joint is very messed up. Most of the time the migraine comes from joint pain or bruxism. I decided I want to lose weight; I gained 15 kg in a few months using migraine medication. I've been feeling awful for a year, so last night I started Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) 2.5 ml. I didn't feel anything, just a slight pain from the needle. No side effects. I went to sleep feeling nothing, just the same migraine. I woke up without stomach pain; for months I've been waking up like this, feeling like I've been fasting and awake without sleep. I don't know if it was the Tirzepatide… However, I spent the whole day today with a migraine. Is it possible that it was only two days of crisis, or could it have been the injection? Is anyone treating migraines and using Tirzepatide here able to share their experiences?

I'm undergoing treatment for sleep problems, anxiety, and chronic migraines. I increased my medication dosage because I'd been sleeping only 4 hours a night for two weeks. I've had nightmares or bad dreams almost every day for years, but it hasn't been effective. However, increasing the dosage didn't work; I wake up very weak and disoriented and have to drink several energy drinks… I was like this two years ago, and now I'm sleeping poorly again while taking high doses of medication. 😭😭😭 Just venting, it's been difficult to deal with this.
