I suffer with chronic migraines. what dosage of magnesium should you take for migraines and could this make headaches worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
250 to 500 mg: Magnesium deficiency has been found in many who suffer from migraine. A good retiming is to take enough till you develop diarrhea, then take one pill less. I place my patients on 500mg daily if they can tolerate it. Other important steps are, eating reg meals, proper sleep, exercise, stress reduction, and prevention and ablation meds that improve your condition
