I was originally given butterbur in the form of the perscription "Petadolex" by my doctor. I have been using it for migraines for 3 years, and it is very effective. When I started using it, my migraines went from 4-6 a week to 1 or 2 a month. When I stop using it, the migraines return.

I have had 100+migraines/year since age 14. I started Petadolex 2 months ago, taking 150 mg./day. I have had an increase in the migraines and very bad IBS-type symptoms with lots of abdominal cramps. I will try to continue for 4 months to see if it helps over a longer term. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has had this experience.

Have been taking Butterbur 75 mg twice per day for exactly 1 month without any migraines. I am completely satisfied, and very glad this was recommended by my physician. There are studies available regarding this in the journals of Neurology. Would recommend 3 important points: not taking if history of liver disease, periodic blood testing for liver function tests as recommended by your physician, and obtaining a product that has no Pyrrolizidine alkaloids.

Before taking this with other herbs, relaxation, etc. I used to have migraine headaches at least once a month. After taking this and as I mentioned before other herbs, I don't get as much migraines or they are not as severe.
