MigreLief Original

Oct 28, 2016 - I have used another brand for years but they removed the feverfew and substituted another ingredient in my last purchases (I hadn't noticed the change as the packages looked the same and I didn't look any further and my migraines came back so I' not using that brand anymore. Changed to MigreLief Original Formula Triple Therapy with Puracol, 60 Count (Pack of 3) by MigreLief Original Formula around the first of Sept 2016 and am now back to normal - one headache (not severe but lasted 3 1/2 days after a casino trip) in almost 2 months. Don't know why I didn't go with this brand from the beginning but after having the success with the other one was afraid of changing brands till it didn't work any more. Original review for the other brand which was the same ingredients as this one, Here's everything I did to help reduce migraine frequency and severity: 2014: Have had migraines for 18 years; every week, multiple days. Tried feverfew in those early years but never knew that it would take 3 months to get benefit so I wrote it off. I had a 3 month migraine earlier this year and a friend's mother told me how she used feverfew and that her friend told her 3 months at a minimum so she did and her headaches went away, she quit using it, they came back and she used it another 3 months and has never had another migraine. I started researching and read research / studies on magnesium and riboflavin with a few studies including feverfew so I bought in and started trying to find a supplier. Read the reviews on Amazon and decided on this one. Used this as directed for 3 months and was almost headache free so I stopped taking it (just like my friends Mom). Well I'm taking it again for about 2 months now and got better again so instead of stopping the feverfew and with my doctors U&A, started reducing my daily migraine medicine from 75 mg Nortriptylene to 50mg and now on 25 mg. (My doc helped me get off anti-seizure/anti-convulsive medication last year.) Gets a little rough, starting a couple of days later after reducing and for about 3-5 days but then headache goes away. Use Zomig or regular Advil - using less Zomig (a month's prescription lasts 2-3 months which is a miracle for me). Wouldn't do this without my doctor's agreement. I'm very appreciative of what this supplement has done for me. Can't imagine what I'm going to feel like if I can get off all this medication. I'll update once my experiment is complete. Update: Feb 3, 2015. I'm off all my migraine medication since end of Nov. 2014 and I haven't had a migraine or used Zomig since early Dec 2014. BTW - getting off Nortriptylene took about 6 months to lose the side effects - it's a bugger. Here's everything I did: Dehydration is one of the biggest culprits for migraine; caffeine use and magnesium deficiency are close behind. I did greatly decrease stress in my life. 3 MigreLief every day between meals when reducing my migraine medication - now only 2 a day. I drink at least 2-3 quarts of water a day. That beyond any other fluids - I tried counting all fluids toward the 2 quarts but didn't work for me. No artificial sweeteners especially aspartame. Reduced refined sugar and wheat (gluten) in my diet. I'd work on the sugar as wheat may not be a problem for others. Cut my caffeine way back and don't eat chocolate - I drink 2-3 cups of Half-caf in the morning then switch to decaf. This is what I was told for Magnesium (add everything from vitamins, MigreLief, etc - also remember that D3 makes magnesium) - Body weight divided in half and times 10 to start adjusting for proper dosage. If have brown water then decrease until water is clear - stool will be soft and should have 2-3 movements a day. Some medical conditions my not agree with this amount of magnesium - consult your doctor. Pillow that supports neck properly. Very important to get good sleep - I have sleep apnea and have got a better mask for my machine and started taking fish oil with D3 (D3 is the D we would get from the sun and it is very important for the deep REM sleep needed for the body to heal. Stretch morning before getting out of bed - bring knees as close to chest as possible while being comfortable...no pain...hold it for 3 minutes (my chiropractor told me this one). Started exercising to lose weight as I am obese and the weight does pull on my neck and shoulders; couldn't do this before as I would get a migraine every time I exercised. I now have more energy than I've had for a long time and am losing weight, no more neck pain! Warning: I will tell you that it was quite miserable for 2 months after totaling quit taking Nortriptyline (read up about anti-depressant withdrawal). I've done some other reading and even though my doctor had me reduce the dose 25mg every 2 weeks, I've read that 10% reduction at a time is easier for withdrawl systmtoms. I was really sick - dizziness (still have a little) and that's all I have now, even some vertigo, very weak and tired, nausea, woke up through the night, electric shock feeling in my leg that jerked me awake at night, transient pain in my neck, jaw, head, legs and feet. Good luck! 11/11/15 It's been a year now and I haven't had to refill my Zomig since last Dec (2014). I used to get a script every month and would run out by time to refill. I've taken a zomig 5 or 6 times this year; if I get a headache it's usually managed with regular advil and that's all I take for migraine; I still have over half my Dec prescription from last year. I'm off all my previous prescriptions and I take 2 migrelief a day. It's a whole new world to me. Thank you Migrelief. Oct 2016 Update of status: Changed to Akesco Migrelief. Off blood pressure med now too and am doing regular exercise and starting to lose weight. Yea! Never give up!

This stuff actually works! No more migraines for me. I take twice a day and rarely miss (if I miss it's the evening dose if I fall asleep early). I haven't noticed any side effects. I added to my subscribe & save so I definitely feel it's worth purchasing!

wow - most supplements DO NOT work and have little scientific evidence to base the claims of the manufacturer. Two of the active ingredients in Migrelief, Magnesium and Vit B12 are both supported by research in their role in pain relief. And... something finally worked in reducing the headaches from my sinus pressure after 3 years of constantly trying to find solutions and using a variety of nasal sprays. In addition, the price for this product is amazing compared to buying those supplements separately. Give it a try!!

I bought these for my daughter as a migraine preventive. She took it faithfully for 2 months and had zero migraines during that time. I also got her the sublingual fast acting migralief. After 2 or 3 months she started getting lazy and forgetting to take them... I had it on subscription sent to her, so she finally said that she had enough and stop sending them. Which tells me she stopped taking them. Guess what, she got some migraines again. So I believe it works well, but it is described as a preventive so if you're a sufferer, take it daily. Its worth a shot, because she has blinding migraines with auras that last very long along with the nausea and vomiting. She is 25 and had migraines since about age 14 which I hoped she would grow out of as I've been told some ppl do. Consistency is the way

The doctor “prescribed” Migrelief at bedtime for me as part of my post concussion syndrome regimen. I take 1 at bedtime & was surprised at how well it really works for my headaches & sleep. He did tell me it was going to take about 90 days before feeling the full effects of this medicine. At 1st I wasn’t sure it was working, but I decided to trust the process & take it faithfully for at least 90 days. The headaches started to go away. With continued use, my sleep has improved immensely. Stick with it, it works!

Recommended for a young but big kid with migraines. It is very effective, not 100% but we did not expect that. Went from 2 migraines/week to 1-2 per month. Pediatric neurologist recommended 1 tab instead of adult dose of 2.

Great product, the first time I ordered it I received it in a timely manner. I reordered and it is taking weeks for them to even ship it.

After years of trying different migraine medication and treatment MigreLief is a life saver! I have fewer headaches and that is saying a LOT! My neurologist was quite stunned, but still wanted me on a low dose of prescribed medication.

Always happy with the product and supplier.
