A member asked:

How much/ what type of magnesium should i take per day to help with chronic headaches? and is it safe to take with daily doses of pamelor and topamax (topiramate)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unknown: Magnesium has never really been proven to help with headaches, but if you want to try it, i would try something like mag-ox 400 mg once or twice a day. This should be safe with Pamelor and topamax (topiramate).
