Vitamin D

Has anyone heard of Vitamin D for migraine prevention? I am currently taking Keppra, cutting down on Klonapin, and just starting Cymbalta to add to Prozac for depression. Also have Naproxin and Imitrex to take as needed.

"Investigators presented the results of an observational study here at the 50th Annual Meeting of the American Headache Society, which showed that 41.8% of patients with chronic migraine were deficient in 25-hydroxyvitamin D. The study also showed that the longer individuals had chronic migraine, the more likely they were to be vitamin D deficient." (from Medscape)

Interesting! I hadn't heard much about this...sounds like taking vitamin D might be a good idea. (I would check with your doc especially when you are already taking a combination of prescription meds

Thank you! i will look into it.

I hope you don't mind me jumping in here.  Look into types of vitamin D.  Vitamin D-3 is the new thing to be taking!  Obviously it is not new.  It is also technically a hormone and not a vitamin.  It is completely necessarry for the body to function correctly and people who are deficient are subject to a whole host of problems.
