Has anyone tried Myers' Cocktail? What happened?

Here is some info about the cocktail:

I have taken all of those nutrients in pill form as recommended by my chiropractor. it did nothing for my headache but the B vitamins gave me more energy.

i havent tried it but i take b vitamins every day.

has anyone tried a vitamin called 'migravent'? MY son't neurologist suggested it for his chronic headaches. Has anyone had success with this?

I have heard of Migravent but personally haven't tried it.

Jonathan,

I was going to ask my son's headache doctor about the Meyer's cocktail to see what he thinks. I have a friend with lupus who claims it has cured her at least made her feel almost normal. I've been afraid to try it because my son is always so sensitive to medications and we have to start and stop them slowly so I'm afraid he would have a reaction to something in the mix, even though it is all vitamins. I feel like he may need extra magnesium but when he takes it orally it doesn't agree with him so the thought of an IV infusion kind worries me a little, in his case. Please let me know if you decide to try it and if it helps.

I am not going to try it as no one with NDPH has. I have had IV magnesium though.

My daughter takes Migrelief...feverfew, riboflavin and magnesium. she also takes Co Q10.Her neurologist recommended it.I haven't heard of Migravent. I did just check out the website though. I know that people with migraines need more mg and B2 than the rest of us.

I have not been diagnosed officially diagnosed yet with either Chronic Migraine or NDPH yet....all I know is that is that I have a headache everyday and if usually becomes a migraine. I asked my doctor (gp) if I should try the suggested supplements (B2 & magnesium)he said why not. I will let you guys know if it helps. I will also let you know when the docs actually figure out what i have!!! ...But that could take a while...

I hope that they help at least ease the pain for you. Please do let us know if you can tell a difference or not.

The diagnosis part gets tricky. I got labelled with both NDPH and chronic migraine at the same time, though they feel like one headache to me. I don't really care what it is called as long as we do something about it!
