Doctor Knowles Migraine Supplement |Complete Natural Migraine Prevention & Relief Pills with Magnesium, 5-HTP, Feverfew, Riboflavin & Organic Blend |Caffeine Free, Extended-Release Tablets (60 Units)

I'm 53 years old and have had severe, devastating, daily migraines since my early 20's. I've been on disability since 1989 and have had no pain free moments and have spent the bulk of that my time in a cool dark room with either ice or heat packs on my head. For almost twenty years, I averaged 25 Toradol injections a month and my hips are full of scar tissue. Even with strong narcotics and the shots and many other daily maintenance meds, I had absolutely no quality of life. I also live with Fibromyalgia, thyroid issues, and diabetes. A couple of months ago I decided to wean myself off of the 50mg of daily Pamelor as I was so tired, had no libido, and was puffy all the time. I wanted to know if it was really doing anything for my constant pain. I read of other people's experiences with doing this and the horror stories almost made me decide to just stay on it. I wanted to die within days of only reducing 5mg and was just dreading five plus months of this agony. I know it was a God thing that led me to this Migraine Prevention Formula and I received it four days later when shipping was expected to take well over a week. Another God thing. I took two pills initially and one about every two hours for a total of six. I was astonished at how much better the pain level was. It has been stated by the seller that they know of no one who regularly needs more than three pills in a day. I do average 4-6 and I can't take at the first sign of pain since the pain never stops, but I do take when it starts to get worse. I still take pain pills with them but not as much as before. I feel more clear headed and actually participate in my life and I'm totally off the Pamelor and it only took two months and it was so easy! I will be taking this stuff for life and have already recommended it to several people. One of those is my mom who has allergy aggravated migraines and she has purchased a bottle and it is helping her so much. No more waking at dawn to run for the Excedrine bottle, basically no Excedrine hardly ever. My husband has TMJ headaches and hates the way pain pills make him feel hung over. He can take one to two of these pills and be fine in a short time. I will be recommending this Migraine Prevention Formula to my PCP and neurologist as well as anyone I meet who has headaches/migraines of any sort. Thank you so very much, Dr. Knowles, for making this product available. It is the ONLY thing that I have tried over all these many years that has given me some quality of life. I understand that I will be sent a free bottle for leaving a review and also one since my mom purchased this on a recommendation from me.

This is my third time ordering a 180 three month supply bottle and I have to say that this is the product I've been looking for after 20 years of excruciating migraines! After doing lots of research to find out which supplements would help alleviate my migraines (I wasn't foolish enough to look for a cure) I filled my amazon cart with several vitamins and minerals before running across this product that had almost everything I was about to purchase except for CoQ-10. The price ended up being significantly less overall and I couldn't help but appreciate that it was one pill as opposed to several. I was averaging 4 migraines per month, some lasting two or more days as well as daily headaches. The reviews were very promising and I took note that it's stressed that taking migraine prevention formula regularly (twice a day every day, more often when you first start taking it) was the key to its success. I didn't notice much benefits in the first few weeks, some days taking the max 6 pills looking for relief... but after about 5 weeks I was hit with the realization that I no longer woke up with a headache and I hadn't reached for an Excedrine in several days! After about 4 months my migraines went from 4 a month to 1, and now I can happily say that I've been migraine free for 3 months! Never before have I been able to go nearly this long without migraine symptoms and now I tell everyone who will listen about this supplement. Doctors should be recommending this product as a preventative instead of just prescribing medicine to treat them after symptoms arise. You will not be disappointed, definitely worth the time and money invested.

My husband has suffered from migraines most of his life. They weren't all that often and weren't excruciating. He usually managed them with Goody powders. About 2 years ago, all that changed. He began having migraines almost every day and they were very intense. After many visits to many doctors, including specialists and neurologists, we were told that it was just his migraines changing with age. He has tried several things, including diet changes, trying to make sure he gets enough sleep, tracking triggers, etc. He has even had a couple rounds of injections and considered nerve blocks. Diet changes and adequate sleep do make a big difference, as well as avoiding certain smells. However, he was still having headaches several days a week. That is when I came across this supplement and decided to have him try it. He has been on it about 3 months and so far he has noticed a significant reduction in the number of migraines he has. This doesn't help with the pressure related migraines, but we are thankful for less migraines overall. He will continue to take this supplement. Our teenage son has started to complain of headaches almost every day and I have started him on this as well. We chose this product because it contains quality ingredients and no soy. Soy is one of my husband's triggers. Thank you, Dr. Knowles, for a quality product!

I tried this to get rid of my chronic daily migraines and I used it religiously for 6 weeks and noticed no differences in severity, frequency, or duration of my headaches. It is a nutrient supplement that has no effect on ridding of migraines. However, there are MANY things you can do to decrease their frequency and intensity. There is a really great book I read years ago that gives an excellent breakdown of the MANY factors that go into migraine and how to avoid them. It is definitely worth the read. It is called “Heal Your Headache” by Dr. David Buchholz. It goes through all of the components of threshold and how to raise yours so you are less likely to get a migraine and all of the things that can lower your threshold including the following: -not getting a good night’s sleep (at least 8 hrs of uninterrupted sleep) -being stressed out and unable to manage it (that is why a lot of SSRI’s are also migraine prophylaxis meds) -weather changes (some docs believe in this and some don’t; however, there are a TON of anecdotal information from patients that state when low barometric pressure changes occur- such as rain, snow, cloudiness, overcast, fog, etc. Migraines are more likely.) -Allergies and sinuses (allergies and sinus pressure can precipitate migraines due to the fact of extra pressure built up in the face and the trigeminal nerve is the cause of migraine in almost all cases. Therefore, most patients are recommended to use something like a sinus allergy spray daily, as well as a daily anti-histamine pill) -Food triggers (this is the one that is the worst because if you don’t adhere to the food trigger diet, which is EXTREMELY limiting. You will know it instantly. However, most migraines are caused by this because there is so much crap in our food. There are detailed lists you can find online, but here is a basic list: -avoid words on the back of packaged goods like nitrates, nitrites (used in bacon, beef jerky, ham) and modified food starch, yeast extract, or anything “natural flavors” and soy. Often these are not natural foods that have been made in a lab that will precipitate migraines. Most often it is helpful, esp. in the beginning to create a food diary and write down your triggers. What helps a migraine: -being in a quiet, dark room -avoiding blue light on your phone (install the app twilight, which changes your phone naturally throughout the day to get rid of it) -avoiding blue light at night on the computer (install the app Flux, which will do the same thing) -meditation -yoga -mindfulness -sex (it is known during a migraine to relieve symptoms. I think it has to do with diverting blood elsewhere) -caffeine* but there is a huge caveat to this one. Avoid caffeine in your daily normal routine, which can make migraines real quite terrible. However, if you feel a migraine starting, caffeine can actually help stop one coming on. -avoid NSAIDS- don’t take more than 8 days in a month. You can get rebound headaches if you do. -Sleep -acupuncture -guasha (a type of Deep-tissue Chinese massage you can do at home yourself using a spatula and oil to help ease tight muscles)

Review written by my wife: I have suffered from migraines since I was a child. I have taken medication for 20 years as needed. In the past 8 years and three children later, the migraines have increased in frequency and varied in intensity. It got to the point where they became chronic and I was taking medication 14 or more times per month. My MD referred me to a neurologist who wanted to start me on Magnesium and Vitamin B2, plus daily Topomax, and advised that I Stop taking my long time medication. She informed me that I was having rebound headaches. I researched the Topomax and was concerned about the side effects. I decided to stop taking my long time medication, start the vitamins, stop caffeine, avoid multiple potential food triggers, be more disciplined about sleep and lowering stress (exercising, relaxing, deep breaths, etc). I looked on Amazon for a formula that had both supplements recommended and I found this formula. I decided to give them a try, based on the good reviews and ingredients. I am now a few days away from finishing my bottle and it has been a little over two months. I took one in the morning and one in the early evening. The great news is that I have gone from having a migraine 14 + times per month to maybe 2-4 per month. I can now take Ibuprofren and Acetaminophen and have a good response when they are mild. I can't say that it was this formula alone that caused the decrease, but my personal opinion is that it helped greatly in combination with the other things that I did (or stopped doing). I wish I had been told years ago by a physician to take Magnesium and Vitamin B2. As a side note, shortly after stopping my meds. and caffeine (which was a rough few weeks), I ordered the book Heal Your Headache through Amazon. It is a great book and I found it validated the efforts I had already begun to make to "detox" myself from taking too much medication. I now take a Triptan med.no more than twice a month instead of my old medication, if the pain is too disruptive to my daily life. All you migraine sufferers out there, I wish you well. I am relieved that I have less pain every month and thus have better energy and a healthier and happier mood.

My migraines were getting worse, my doctor told me there was no hope that it would ever get better, I was having adverse reaction to my meds, when I found one that did work my insurance abruptly stopped covering it but that turned out to be a blessing in disguise because while it was working for my migraines turned out it was wreaking havoc in other parts of my body. My migraines were just a nightmare that spilled into every aspect of my life. Refusing to believe that there was no way to decrease the frequency and that I had no choice but to put up with side effects that threatened my overall health, I decided to pull the trigger on taking a natural supplement. Thank God I found the Migraine Prevention Formula, instead of 4 or more migraines a month I'm back to just getting a migraine during menstruation. Even then, it's not as intense as it used to be and I'm able to take Excedrin to knock it out if the pain just won't let up using the supplement alone. I haven't been able to use Excedrin for a migraine since I was in my early 20's. Not only do I love this supplement but I highly recommend it to others. I hate swallowing large pills and I'm able to take these without a problem. I also suffer from seasonal allergies and have no adverse reaction to any of the herbs in this formula. I have a sensitive stomach so I do take it with food. It's possible that it won't bother my stomach at all but I prefer to eat something before taking any supplement. There are times that I miss a dose and it hasn't seemed to weaken the supplement's effectiveness in any way but definitely do your best to keep to the schedule for best results. This is a very reasonable price for a month supply of supplements. I'd rather pay this than $100 a pill for a prescription that was killing me slowly. Again, great product, highly recommend!

Original Review - As I dwell in the land of diminishing returns from my pain medication, and my pain management office is in stiff competition with the VA under Shinseki for apathy and quality of care, I have been researching alternative options for migraine relief. While nothing has given miraculous results, several things have begun to make a difference. This is one of them. The previous supplement (Migraine Support Formula) never seemed to have any noticeable effect, but this does. While every migraineur is different, I honestly think this can at least ease the pain in the budget, while still providing all the best minerals, vitamins and herbs most migraineurs need. Anyone who bought this stuff before the pricing and availability SNAFU and liked it, most likely saw red right along with me, when they decided to monkey with it. If you must monkey with the formula again (cough if it ain't broke, don't fix it, cough), you will probably receive a lot less hatemail, and fewer irate, 1-2 star reviews if you take a moment to consider your customers first. A well-planned and carefully thought out strategy will be much easier on your customers. Right now, for me, you're on probation. One more disastrous maneuver, and I will never buy your product again, and will never recommend it to anyone else. Raising the price, then yanking it from distribution entirely, was an epic fail when it comes to building customer loyalty. Yes, I did purchase it again when it was available again, but I will continue to search for a good alternative, and if I find one that is not too much more expensive, this will become my backup plan, in case they have an equally idiotic strategist at the helm. Of course, your recent PR disaster would be very hard to top, so there it is. Get your act together, and maybe in a year or dozen, people will be able to rely on your brand again. Maybe.

Amazing! I have suffered from debilitating migraines for the past 8 years plus. Until my third pregnancy, I led a very active life. I had a migraine a few times a year, but nothing that couldn't be helped with over the counter pain meds and a muscle relaxer if a tension headache ensued afterward. My headaches became so severe that I was diagnosed with hemi-plegic migraines with cluster headache features. I literally spent most of my time in bed in critically severe pain and partially paralyzed. No local neurologist or doctor knew what to do for me. Standard medications prescribed worked to no avail. I was just told that my migraines were "Complicated." No doubt! I finally started being seen at a world renowned headache clinic and checked into their head pain unit in a hospital for 3 solid weeks. After being tried on so many IV cocktails that I can't begin to remember their names, I was released with a list of medications and supplements 2 pages long. ER visits and hospital stays continued to be a regular occurance. After 2 plus years of beginning my treatment, I was well enough to drive myself to my appointments 3 hours away. However, the doctors never seemed to want to take me off how many medications I was on. I fought to reduce the number and the side affects have been horrible - weight gain, cognitive issues, mood swings, sleepiness, etc. Six months ago, I put my foot down and decided I wasn't going back. I found a new doctor who has been weaning me off all of the "junk" I have been on. The doctor recommended several of the things in this formula. I found out that I had been taking the wrong B vitamins for migraines. I started taking this product about 4 1/2 months ago. I waited to write a review until I knew how it REALLY worked. I am happy to report that my daily headaches are almost non-existent. I struggle during the season changes in the spring and fall as well as during pressure changes. I still had a strong cycle this spring, but it was manageable. I no longer take pain medicine daily. I rarely take anything stronger than ibuprofen and only as needed. I have only spent one-half day in bed in the last 6 months. This product is truly a blessing!
