Can aimovig use lead to weight gain or weight loss?

My doctor prescribed Aimovig for my chronic migraines, and I'm always careful about potential side effects. I've been noticing some changes in my weight recently. Can using Aimovig cause either weight gain or weight loss?

Clinical trials don't list weight changes as a major side effect of Aimovig, but some real-world patients do report either gaining or losing weight. Don't stress too much about it, just track your weight and talk to your neurologist.

I've been using Aimovig for my migraines for a year now. I noticed a slight reduction in my appetite initially, which led to minor weight loss, but nothing drastic. Just keep your diet balanced and don't worry.

Bro, my aunt is on Aimovig for her chronic migraines and she didn't face any crazy weight changes. Everyone's body reacts differently though, so just keep an eye on how you feel.

Hey dear, don't stress too much about the weight stuff! Aimovig is amazing for controlling severe headaches, and any minor weight changes can easily be managed with a bit of daily walking and healthy eating.

While weight changes aren't officially classified as common side effects, many online forums mention them. For your own peace of mind, it is best to discuss this clearly with your doctor before starting the injection.
