butterbur and migraines

just wondering if anybody has tried this and if so there results...

I have been on this for about three months in combo with various other supplements.

The HA specialist out of the Mayo clinic swears by it.

I'm not sure if it is helping yet, but my migraines have decreased in severity.

You can buy it online for cheap at swansons vitamins.

i think i would be happy if it even decreased severity...did you have any stomach problems?

magic

no side effects at all. It has no known side-effects

hi there i am sorry to say it didnt help me one bit, i took it along with feverfew, at the highest dose for 8 months last year, no change in severity or frequency for me, i have stuck with take magnesium, and vit&minerals though, not sure if it helps, but has stopped me getting so many colds etc this winter,

My daughter just started taking it with feverfew last week and is also taking a b complex vitamin as well as magnesium. She has not seen results yet but the neurologist is hopeful.

understand it take something like 2 months on average to see any difference.

BPM, I hope it works for Crystal. How is she doing?

my exact supplements:

D3 4000 in the winter 3000 in spring and 2000 in summer

Omega 3's 1000-2000mg a day ( I take two)

Butterbur 75mg twice a day

Coenzyme Q10 200mg a day

B2 400 mg a day

5HTP 300mg a day

Magnesium 800mg a day

I have twice started Butterbur but it seems to upset my gut.
I was hoping it was bad coincidence because I want to try it again.
I know it can cause gastric problems, but not known to be much of a problem.
Any hints Milo??

I'm usually really sensitive but I have not had any problems with any of these.

The doc worried about the magnesium as wll as the omega three's but I have tolerated them all well.

Try taking the butterbur with meals. If that doesn't work...try it without...lol. Usually a few complex carbs works though.

I have on butterbur (150 mg) for quite a few months and with no stomach problems. As to whether it did any good, I don't know for sure. Maybe the severity of the headaches have been down a couple of levels.

If it causes stomach problems, drinking ginger tea and/or eating ginger candy may help.
