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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
