BUT - if you are taking any of the triptans such as Imitrex it can lead to a potentially life threatening reaction called "Serotonin Syndrome". I've expereinced problems when taking both and honestly thought I was going to die. Please consult with a pharmacist or your doctor before taking. I had read that Magnesium, zinc and calcium worked to relax patients who suffer w/ restless leg syndrome - I tried it to help me relax enough to sleep at night so I can sleep and it does work. I also take magnesium during the day to help reduce the number of headaches I have. Melatonin is a wonderful aid to help someone who is having difficulty sleeping.
