Does emgality cause weight gain?

I'm considering Emgality for my severe migraines, but I'm worried about potential weight changes. Does Emgality cause weight gain? It's a big concern for me.

Honestly, I have been on Emgality for about four months and my weight hasn't changed at all. Some people online complain about it, but for me, it's been totally fine. Just watch your diet.

I am thinking of starting this injection soon for my severe migraines. Does the weight gain happen immediately, or does it build up over several months? I am a bit nervous about it.

I was just reading up on this because my sister might start Emgality. It seems some patients do report weight gain, but it's not super common in the official drug trials. Let us know if you find out more!

Please don't ignore any sudden weight gain. I once ignored rapid metabolic changes thinking it was just stress, and it turned out to be a different issue altogether. Go get a thorough checkup with your doctor.

Weight issues can sometimes be linked to other things like thyroid rather than just the migraine shot. I always recommend getting a full thyroid panel and routine blood tests done, then follow up with your doctor.
