Re: anyone try nonprescription med for migraines?

Nonprescrcrpition medication for MIGRAINS my mom takes Migrain formula Advil

right when the Migrain starts and for years she has taken FEVERFEW which is a

herbal pill that you take everyday and she says her migraines aren't as bad but

it takes a while for the Feverfew to get it to your system you can buy it at any

drug store or I would guess any vitamin store.

anyone try nonprescription med for migraines?

Hi fellow migraine suffers,

Have any of you taken a herb or non rx med for your migraines. A friend

of mine is loosing her insurance Oct 31 and can't pay for Imitrex or

Relpax which work for her. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you M and Deborah S for your help.

Right now my friend might not like it but I think she will after her

insurance runs out. I will tell her to take the meds as often as

possible to keep it in her system.

Hi I'm new here, but Devil's Claw may help as well as upping the

calcium and magnesium (get glycinated version). I have daily

migraines (associated with FM) and I use narcotics as a last resort.

Hope this helps!

Hi Lily,

Thanks for the suggestions. Since my friend and I had thyroids

removed, both our parathyroid glands haven't woken up yet. Side

effect from the surgery. Both of us take calcium and magnesium but

can't up the dose with doctor approval. I will tell her about the

Devil's Claw.

hugs,
