Life Extension Migra-Eeze - Butterbur Root Extract with Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) & Ginger Supplement - Formula to Ease Head Discomfort - Gluten-Free — 60 Softgels

My neurologist said if I keep getting migraines she’ll have to put me on another medication. So I looked for an gentler alternative that would help to prevent them. I have migraines with aura; this totally prevents them as long as I take it at least 1x per day (it’s expensive!). They give me zero side effects. If I have a particularly bad day and feel a migraine breaking through, I’ll take a second one and it usually goes away within 30 minutes. It’s a lifesaver- no more missed days of work and being stuck in bed laying in the dark for hours on end. I can’t tolerate caffeine so Excedrin didn’t work for me. Like all gelatin capsules in the summer months the bottle can heat up and the capsules become stuck together. I put them in the freezer for 10 min and then stick my finger or a pen in the bottle to break them up enough to grab individually. They’re pretty forgiving and I’ve never broken a capsule.

In my experience provides fast relief from ocular migranes with minimal side effects

Yes I got it and it really does help me feel better.

This review is for those of us that suffer from that horrible "off balance" feeling / dizziness / vertigo.After exhausting the few things doctors can check for with regards to dizziness, you are basically left to figuring out how to live with it. I tried taking several medications and some worked decent but with side effects and some didn't work at all. I then found Migra-Eeze in one of my late night searches for how to rid myself of dizziness that came on suddenly one day. That was over a year ago.For me, this works better then anything else and without side effects. I've tried Migravent and for me, it didn't work near as well.I recently stopped taking my nightly pill because of some complications with my auto-immune disease. I wanted to cut out anything that I take that wasn't absolutely necessary. I haven't had the "off balance" feeling for so long, I wasn't even sure I needed it anymore. I didn't notice anything for a few days and figured I didn't need it anymore. Wrong, today I woke up with that feeling. Everyone that has dizziness knows how awful it is to have that constant and low level dizziness (I do sometimes get actual vertigo but rarely and it only lasts second/minutes). Needless to say I'll be taking 2 per day until it goes away and then will drop back down to my maintenance 1 a day.I should say, for others looking for their own answers, I've had migraines since a teen (I'm now in my mid-40's and female) and I have a rare sub-set of cluster migraines that are tied to my autonomic nervous system. So it probably is why I have the dizziness. For those taking it for migraines, it's not like a rescue pill. My adult daughter has PMS migraines, she needs to start taking one morning & night a few days before her cycle starts and then continue for 5-7 days. You should take these as maintenance or before a migraine, not as a rescue med.

Just tried to return/replace item as it came all melted together. Tried to see if I could pry any away but they are melted into one another and when forced apart the inside spilled and stained. So sad I’m out money and have no usable product.

I rarely have time to write a review but I do read lots of them. I feel like if I could persuade just one person to try this it would be worth my time. I have been to 5 different neurologist in the last 20 years. I have tried every preventive medication out there and many in very high doses with terrible side effects. I was unable to find one single prescription to do anything for my chronic daily migraines. I have been in many trials, and even taken hormones in my 30s to try to help these awful migraines. I had a doctor give me Pedadolex from Webber and Webber about 12 years ago. It has been the only thing to help me not wake up every single day in pain. I was very nervous about taking another brand of butterbur as the brand in the studies in Germany was that brand. It is very expensive. About a year ago, I had a doctor tell me how good the quality of life extension products are and found this. I can't stress enough just how much of a life changing thing butterbur is for me. Zero side effects. I love this product. I had to get off of this to prepare for a surgery and the doctor wanted me off all supplements. It took me 2.5 months to get back to feeling better. My suggestion is to give this product a shot, and know that it takes a good 2-3 months to build up in your system. I have spent countless hours trying to research and help my migraines. I was a frequent flyer in the ER. Shots of heavy narcotics only to wake up the next morning to start all over. This, grouped with prednisone when I wake up with a migraine for 3 days in a rowe (to prevent rebound) has helped me have a better quality of life.

I've suffered from frequent migraines for about four years...chronic migraines for about four months. I started taking this about a month ago and I do believe it's working. My headaches have not disappeared completely. I still get them but they are not as severe and don't last as long as usual. I'll take it! I haven't needed to take triptans or pain medications because the headaches have been manageable since starting the Migra-Eaze.I've had no side effects. I take it twice a day with food, along with a feverfew supplement and I really can't complain. I hope it continues. I even signed up for automatic shipments.
