Looma Anti-Migraine

I've been on sumatriptan for four years. The side effects were almost as bad as the migraines — jaw tightness, brain fog, complete exhaustion. But without it I'd be in bed for two days straight. Started taking two capsules before bed every night. By week three the migraines started spacing out. By month two they were practically gone. My neurologist couldn't believe my migraine diary. I'm three months in and I've had ONE mild headache. One. After four years of 12+ migraines a month. I cried telling my husband I don't need the triptans anymore.

Eleven years of migraines. I'd cancel plans, miss my kids' games, sit in a dark room praying for it to pass. Tried topiramate, amitriptyline, even Botox. The side effects were brutal and the migraines kept coming. I'd tried magnesium before and it did nothing. But the doses here are what the research actually says you need. Not 100 mg. The full 400. Month three: I went from 8–10 migraines a month to maybe one. My neurologist literally asked me what changed. I sleep better, I wake up without that pressure behind my eyes, and I haven't touched a triptan since.

Every Friday like clockwork — the aura would start, then the pounding. I'd lose the entire weekend. My husband basically raised our kids on Saturdays because I was in bed with the curtains drawn. I've only been taking this for six weeks but the difference is already unreal. The last three weekends I was actually THERE. We went to the farmer's market, I cooked dinner, I played with my daughter without wincing. Two capsules before bed. That's it. I'm mad I wasted years on prescriptions that barely took the edge off.

I was taking a daily preventive AND a triptan for breakthroughs. Two prescriptions, constant fatigue, and still 6–7 migraines a month. My doctor said that's just how chronic migraine works. My daughter bought me the 3-pack. I almost didn't try it — I've been burned by supplements before. But the ingredient doses matched everything my neurologist had recommended individually, just never in one capsule. 90 days in: zero preventive prescription, zero triptans. I had two very mild headaches that went away with just water and rest. At 58, I finally feel like I have my brain back.

I used to cancel at least two things a week because of migraines. Dinner with friends, morning runs, even work meetings. The worst part was the guilt — my friends stopped inviting me because they assumed I'd bail. I started this after seeing it on Instagram. Honestly didn't expect much. But by week four the frequency dropped from 10-12 a month to maybe 2-3. Now at month three I'm down to one mild one that Advil handles. I went to brunch three Sundays in a row last month. My best friend literally said 'welcome back.'

My migraines always came with horrible nausea. I'd throw up for hours, couldn't eat, couldn't even sip water without gagging. The migraine itself was bad enough but the nausea made it unbearable. I've been taking two capsules every night for about 10 weeks. The migraines have gone from weekly to maybe once a month, but the biggest change is the nausea is GONE. Even when I do get a mild headache now, there's no nausea with it. I can actually function through it. That alone changed my life.

I won't lie — the first two weeks I felt nothing and almost stopped. But I'd read that magnesium and riboflavin take time to build up, so I stuck with it. Week three I noticed I was sleeping deeper. Week four the migraines started spacing out. By week eight I went from 6 migraines a month to 1. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I wish it worked faster. But looking back, going from debilitating chronic migraines to basically headache-free in two months? I'll take it.

I bought this for my husband who's had migraines since he was 19. He's 44 now and has tried everything — beta blockers, anti-seizure meds, nerve blocks, even a daith piercing. Nothing lasted. He was skeptical but started taking it before bed. The bright yellow urine freaked him out at first (it's the B2, totally normal) but by month two he went from 3-4 migraines a week to maybe one every two weeks. He actually said 'I think this is working' which from him is basically a standing ovation.
