Does emgality cause weight loss?

Since starting Emgality a few months ago for my migraines, I've actually lost a couple of kgs. It wasn't an expected side effect. Does Emgality sometimes cause weight loss?

Weight loss is not a standard side effect of Emgality. If you are experiencing sudden, unexplained weight loss, book a quick appointment with your neurologist instead of trying to figure it out online.

Emgality is not a weight loss drug, it is for migraines. If you are losing weight, it might just be because you have fewer headaches and are eating normally now. Keep track of your meals and consult a local doctor.

Don't trust internet forums claiming Emgality causes weight loss. Any sudden drop in weight needs to be medically evaluated with proper blood tests. Verify this directly with your prescribing physician.

My neurologist explained that Emgality doesn't directly alter metabolism to cause weight loss. However, since it prevents severe migraine attacks, patients often experience less nausea and better daily routines, which can indirectly affect weight.

Dealing with chronic migraine and then worrying about sudden weight changes is so emotionally draining. I completely validate what you are going through. Please be kind to yourself and reach out to your doctor for support.

Nah bro, I have been using Emgality for 6 months and my weight is exactly the same. It hasn't caused any weight loss for me. If you are losing weight, maybe check your diet or workout routine.
