The most consistent natural headache preventives are: Petadolex(an offshoot, safer form, of butterbur), usually 100 to 150mg perday; usually no side effects, occasionally upset stomach,……..and Vitamin B2(riboflavin), 200 to 400mg per day, usually no side effects,……and magnesium(gluconate, or sometimes we use oxide), 400 or 500mg daily(occasionally upset stomach/diarrhea). Sometimes we combine 2 or 3 of these approaches; due to lack of side effects, these are often worth trying, either alone, or along with the usual preventive meds.
