Migraine Supplements: What Works and Why

Thank you for doing this podcast

So helpful. After dealing with migraines for more than a decade, and visiting at least 4 different neurologists, all kinds of treatments, tests and medications prescribed (including anti-seizure meds!), injections, etc. my last neurologist recommended these supplements almost exactly what is mentioned on this video. They have been absolutely life changing. No other neurologist mentioned any of them (they were all male, btw, except the last one.) Headaches are down to maybe one per week and definitely less extreme. Thank you so much for this information. It is life saving.

A 100 mg slow release Caffeine capsule every morning and no other caffeine throughout the day...has been an absolute game changer, for me. Also, have learned through much trial and error that I must avoid mycotoxins in my food intake. Any food/grain/bean (old coffee, corn, oats, for example) that sits in a vat for long periods of time before it is sold, develops invisible mold (mycotoxin) within its very chemical structure. Will not effect most people, but for me the reaction to it is severe! I am a lifelong, complicated migraineur. The best pharmaceutical for me is Maxalt (rizatriptan).

Can you please confirm the recommended dosage of Vitamin B2? I’m confused if it should, or should not, be 400 mg. Thank you so much.

That is the dose that's recommended by the American Academy of Neurology. But as Dr. Barrett mentioned she prefers using a lower dose in combination with other supplements. If you're interested here is some other reading on Vitamin B2 - medlineplus.gov/druginfo/natural/957.html

@@NationalHeadacheFoundation thank you - what is the lower dose Dr. Barrett prefers?

[@NationalHeadacheFoundation]

@@PeggyFreeman-y3j The dosage of B2 that you find in multivitamins would be the lower end of the the dosage she recommends.

Hi is Magnesium Bisglycinate and magnesium glycinate the same thing?

[@NationalHeadacheFoundation]

Yes those are both the same thing!
