- MigreLief Original Triple Therapy with Puracol - Nutritional Support for Migraine Sufferers - 60 Caplets/1 Month Supply

Oct 28, 2016 - I have used another brand for years but they removed the feverfew and substituted another ingredient in my last purchases (I hadn't noticed the change as the packages looked the same and I didn't look any further and my migraines came back so I' not using that brand anymore. Changed to MigreLief Original Formula Triple Therapy with Puracol, 60 Count (Pack of 3) by MigreLief Original Formula around the first of Sept 2016 and am now back to normal - one headache (not severe but lasted 3 1/2 days after a casino trip) in almost 2 months. Don't know why I didn't go with this brand from the beginning but after having the success with the other one was afraid of changing brands till it didn't work any more. Original review for the other brand which was the same ingredients as this one, Here's everything I did to help reduce migraine frequency and severity: 2014: Have had migraines for 18 years; every week, multiple days. Tried feverfew in those early years but never knew that it would take 3 months to get benefit so I wrote it off. I had a 3 month migraine earlier this year and a friend's mother told me how she used feverfew and that her friend told her 3 months at a minimum so she did and her headaches went away, she quit using it, they came back and she used it another 3 months and has never had another migraine. I started researching and read research / studies on magnesium and riboflavin with a few studies including feverfew so I bought in and started trying to find a supplier. Read the reviews on Amazon and decided on this one. Used this as directed for 3 months and was almost headache free so I stopped taking it (just like my friends Mom). Well I'm taking it again for about 2 months now and got better again so instead of stopping the feverfew and with my doctors U&A, started reducing my daily migraine medicine from 75 mg Nortriptylene to 50mg and now on 25 mg. (My doc helped me get off anti-seizure/anti-convulsive medication last year.) Gets a little rough, starting a couple of days later after reducing and for about 3-5 days but then headache goes away. Use Zomig or regular Advil - using less Zomig (a month's prescription lasts 2-3 months which is a miracle for me). Wouldn't do this without my doctor's agreement. I'm very appreciative of what this supplement has done for me. Can't imagine what I'm going to feel like if I can get off all this medication. I'll update once my experiment is complete. Update: Feb 3, 2015. I'm off all my migraine medication since end of Nov. 2014 and I haven't had a migraine or used Zomig since early Dec 2014. BTW - getting off Nortriptylene took about 6 months to lose the side effects - it's a bugger. Here's everything I did: Dehydration is one of the biggest culprits for migraine; caffeine use and magnesium deficiency are close behind. I did greatly decrease stress in my life. 3 MigreLief every day between meals when reducing my migraine medication - now only 2 a day. I drink at least 2-3 quarts of water a day. That beyond any other fluids - I tried counting all fluids toward the 2 quarts but didn't work for me. No artificial sweeteners especially aspartame. Reduced refined sugar and wheat (gluten) in my diet. I'd work on the sugar as wheat may not be a problem for others. Cut my caffeine way back and don't eat chocolate - I drink 2-3 cups of Half-caf in the morning then switch to decaf. This is what I was told for Magnesium (add everything from vitamins, MigreLief, etc - also remember that D3 makes magnesium) - Body weight divided in half and times 10 to start adjusting for proper dosage. If have brown water then decrease until water is clear - stool will be soft and should have 2-3 movements a day. Some medical conditions my not agree with this amount of magnesium - consult your doctor. Pillow that supports neck properly. Very important to get good sleep - I have sleep apnea and have got a better mask for my machine and started taking fish oil with D3 (D3 is the D we would get from the sun and it is very important for the deep REM sleep needed for the body to heal. Stretch morning before getting out of bed - bring knees as close to chest as possible while being comfortable...no pain...hold it for 3 minutes (my chiropractor told me this one). Started exercising to lose weight as I am obese and the weight does pull on my neck and shoulders; couldn't do this before as I would get a migraine every time I exercised. I now have more energy than I've had for a long time and am losing weight, no more neck pain! Warning: I will tell you that it was quite miserable for 2 months after totaling quit taking Nortriptyline (read up about anti-depressant withdrawal). I've done some other reading and even though my doctor had me reduce the dose 25mg every 2 weeks, I've read that 10% reduction at a time is easier for withdrawl systmtoms. I was really sick - dizziness (still have a little) and that's all I have now, even some vertigo, very weak and tired, nausea, woke up through the night, electric shock feeling in my leg that jerked me awake at night, transient pain in my neck, jaw, head, legs and feet. Good luck! 11/11/15 It's been a year now and I haven't had to refill my Zomig since last Dec (2014). I used to get a script every month and would run out by time to refill. I've taken a zomig 5 or 6 times this year; if I get a headache it's usually managed with regular advil and that's all I take for migraine; I still have over half my Dec prescription from last year. I'm off all my previous prescriptions and I take 2 migrelief a day. It's a whole new world to me. Thank you Migrelief. Oct 2016 Update of status: Changed to Akesco Migrelief. Off blood pressure med now too and am doing regular exercise and starting to lose weight. Yea! Never give up!

I don’t typically write reviews because I don’t usually come across something I feel so strongly about that I need to bother with one but I do think this supplement may have saved my life. I had never had migraines, rarely even got headaches until at 23 when I randomly started getting horrible, debilitating migraines that would last for days on end. I tried caffeine, Tylenol, getting extra sleep, even went to urgent care and the ER several times because I was convinced something was terribly wrong with me because of the pain. I suffered with migraines about half the days of every month and headaches in between. I ended up having to quit my job for a few months because I couldn’t handle being anywhere with noise and bright lights. I was miserable. I would wake up everyday hoping that I would finally get some relief. I got in to see a neurologist and he tested to see if I had any signs of a brain tumor or any sort of neurological issue. He concluded I didn’t have any of the above and diagnosed me with the migraines I already knew of. He also prescribed rizatriptan to help with migraines which does help a lot when one starts to come on and I still use from time to time. The other thing he suggested was this supplement. He said it was the only one that he would recommend that has actually had some success in reducing peoples migraines. I figured a supplement was a long shot but I of course gave it a try because I was getting to the point where I didn’t know if I wanted to keep living in this pain anymore. I started the supplement and gave it a fair trial period (about a month or two) and I started to see my migraines reduce more and more. I finally had relief. I still take this supplement every single night to this day and will probably take it for the rest of my life. I now experience maybe 1-2 migraines a month, some months none at all. I just wanted to share my experience because I hope that maybe it will help someone out who feels like they are running out of options. It’s not a guarantee but maybe this supplement will be the thing that gives you your life back like it did for me.

Lifesaver! My daughter has been free of DAILY headaches since her neurologist put her on it.

Great as supplement for teens with migraine.

Have ordered this many times. Definitely reduces migraines

Came very quickly, supplement exactly as expected, information on bottle very clear, so I knew I was getting exactly the ingredients expected. The pills are a nice shaped elongated shape for easy swallowing. My daughter was pleased. It’ll take some time to see results, my reading said up to 3 months for full efficacy, but that is the case with natural healing which is good for the body. Grateful to have gotten it so quickly so we can get started.

Great product! Highly recommend if you are susceptible to headaches.

I have been battling migraines for 20+ years. I recently switched neurologists and was recommended this product. He knows that I do not like to take many of the migraine medications out there due to past side effects and offered this approach. He stated many of his patients do well on the product. I am on week 3 of taking Migrelief and feel subtle changes in the frequency of my migraines and in my essential tremors. My biggest trigger is changes in the weather. I have been able to go the 3 weeks without a migraine despite rainy cold stormy weather. I have had some discomfort but not a full blown migraine attack. My tremors have been effected as well. They are not completely gone but they are so much better. It does take time to work in your system but am slowly seeing a change for the better. Hope it continues. Pills: do not taste like much. Pretty big and recommend taking with plenty of water. Negatives: I have been getting reflux daily since beginning. I have also had to use the bathroom more often due to stomach cramps. Trying to figure out the best way to manage these issues hence the 4 stars. And just so you know, it does change the color of your urine. 1 month update: I have been taking Migrelief daily for a little over a month now. I am happy to report that I have not had a full blown migraine since. I have had precursors such as intense neck pain which is usually what acts up first before my migraines but have had zero migraines. After so many years of getting them multiple times a month, I am shocked. I did drop down to one tablet a day due to the stomach issues and they have resolved. I will be uping to the recommended two times a day and will update after trialing it for a few weeks. This product is worth a shot if you are a migraine sufferer. 7/23 Update: Honesty is the best policy in my opinion especially having an understanding on how debilitating migraines can be. As earlier stated, Migrelief was recommended by my neurologist who knows I do not like taking strong medications due to side effects. I took Migrelief religiously for 2.5 months with a definite improvement in my migraine frequency. My stomach though… it was rough on my stomach. I had some improvement when taking every other day but when I began upping to the daily dose the stomach issues came back with a vengeance. Upon further research, I learned that the magnesiums in this supplement are often used as laxatives. Wanting to keep the beneficial momentum going, I decided to purchase high quality versions of Feverfew, a B-100 complex, and Magnesium Glycinate for better absorption. I take these every other day because these can get pricey and on the off day added Co Q10 and the benefits have been astounding. I can proudly say I have had one mild episode in the past month. With this said, I would not discount the migrelief especially to start. Its cost effective and the only reason why I tried something else was due to the persistent stomach issues. It does not mean it will happen to everyone which is why I feel it is worth a shot. Migrelief did kick start my migraine free journey.
