    I have only started taking magnesium supplement last week. The thing that I noticed, as of this writing, is that I do have the migraine attack, but I am functional, and that is a good thing.

    Try a different kind of magnesium, pen. You might be surprised at the difference.

    Aurora, it does take time. Like most things for migraine, it’s wise to try for at least 3 months, using a migraine diary, to see what happens. I hope the improvement continues!

      I take a liquid form. It has magnesium, B1/B3 CoQ10 and noni.

    Like hell I’ll monitor this mg supplement thing, especially when I got scared 3 weeks ago when the right side of my face sagged that my eyecap was nearly closed.

    Pen, I am taking the chewable magnesium tablets in sort of fruity flavor. I just let it melt in my mouth like candy.

    You can also get magnesium in powder form that dissolves in a drink, such as this Calm Organic Orange, or liquid magnesium such as this Ionic Magnesium. Just make sure you don’t get something with calcium in it too, by mistake.

    I am still on Magnesium, James. I still have severe attacks but also mild ones and less vomitting. I am able to walk my dog even while having an attack…I also found this Mg citrate in liquid form. It is what I am taking now.

    Last month, I had 15 days of migraine as against my average of 18. I am not satisfied, but I am at least happy to have more headache-free days.

    I am a chronic patient of migraines, since 16 years. I have been treated by numerous doctors, but the list of medications keep on increasing. I am thinking of trying homeopathic treatment, because the hope of getting better is fast diminishing. However the positive response of patients taking magnesium supplements has given me a slight ray of hope. Hormonal changes also have a strong link to my attacks. Presently I am taking an anti depressant and inderal for prophylactic treatment and zomig for the pain. I live in Australia, and would like to know the appropriate combination of magnesium, as there are so many varieties available in the market. Please guide me in this regard, thanks.

    The one thing that seems to be a problem for me is that the magnesium, even in liquid form, doesn’t seem to be absorbed properly (the same is true for other supplements such as melantonin). This leaves me with the treatment option of IV drip (which contains other components of course). The good news for me is that it relaxes me almost immediately; the bad news is how costly the drip is. Based on what I’ve read today I will be trying the MigreLief to see if the herbal quality will absorb properly.

    I use Migravent that has magnesium, riboflavin, butterbur and COQ10. I know it’s expensive and I could probably purchase the various ingredients and mix them, but for me it works, at least by negative comparison. I just retired (disability) and am much better able to observe the effects of various treatments and preventives. I took Migravent as a preventive and in that month was ill 60% of the time. The next month I stopped and was ill 77% of the time. Now I’m back on it and we’ll see how August goes. When I say ill I’m using the MIDAS criteria- either 50% or 100% incapacitated for work or play.

    I’ve finished researching what I’ll need to replace the Migravent.(They have some extra ingredients that I can do without). If I can stay healthy and organized long enough to switch over to the same ingredients I’ll let you know.
    I also just found out that the magnesium powder I use to augment the magnesium in the migravent contains stevia. I like the powdered magnesium seems to work better. Because the jury is out on stevia I will have to find a replacement magnesium powder.

    For migrain take Magnesium Glycinate or magnesium taurate , these two are well absorbed by body, called bioavailable , other forms are have one or the other problems, every make needs 430 mg of magnesium per day , that should be Mg metal equivalent , in short,you need 6 capsules of magnesium Glycinate to get your daily dose of around 400 mg metal equivalent magnesium. Combine with Vit. B complex for migrain treatment, good luck
