Migraines post surgery: supplement or prescripton to deal with?
What supplements did the PA recommend for migraines? If you're talking about vitamins, I'm not aware of any vitamin deficiency that causes migraines. I'd see your PCP for medication for them.

I have had migraines since I had children, so for almost 20 yrs. I believe they are hormone driven in my case as the pregnancy started them and they cycle in frequency with my cycle. The hormones flushed out during extreme weight loss may be the cause in your case. See you PCP, I have prescription fioricet and imitrex for mine. I hope this helps you get relief.

My husband had to start taking magnesium as his surgery, his neurologist mentioned that sometimes after RNY your magnesium levels get a little out of balance and make your headaches worse, by adding back the magnesium it is supposed to help. He tried it for a few months and had some relief. I have been having horrible migraines since surgery so I am going to start taking magnesium to see if it helps. I had horrible migraines before surgery but they have become 10x worse since surgery.
i use doterra essential oils called pasttense, it is for tension and stress headaches and really helps with the migraines.....i have pretty much gotten rid of all my over the counter drugs and just using the essential oils, they have made a huge difference in my life. they are 100% certified pure theraputic medicinal grade essential oils, they are mighty potent. 1 drop of my peppermint oil is equal to 28 cups of peppermint tea....
good luck
have a great day
