We explored the connection between calcium treatment and headaches, particularly in patients with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS). In this case, we observed a healthy young woman who had been using escitalopram for a long time. She presented with bilateral neurological deficits, and after treatment with intra-arterial calcium channel blockers, her symptoms improved significantly.
However, it’s important to note that while calcium channel blockers were administered, the study does not specifically isolate calcium’s effects on headache relief. This combination of treatments makes it challenging to understand how much calcium alone contributes to alleviating headache symptoms, if at all.
As we considered the overall findings, it became clear that while calcium channel blockers can lead to symptom improvement in RCVS, the direct impact of calcium on headaches remains uncertain. Therefore, individuals experiencing thunderclap headaches, especially those on selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, should consider RCVS as a possible diagnosis, but we cannot definitively conclude that calcium treatment is effective for headaches based on this case alone.

It’s essential to undergo tests before taking this supplement to confirm if you truly need it. I took it, but I'm uncertain if it helped. However, I have noticed that the headaches decreased by about 70%, and I am no longer feeling nauseous.

Minimal effect
I'm taking it because it's supposed to help with sebum control acne and for headache relief, but so far, it's not proving very effective. Nonetheless, I will continue to take it consistently.

Good quality
I think the quality is good for the price, and I bought it for headache relief. I take it with lactic acid bacteria on an empty stomach each morning.

Preferable to Roacutan
3 people found this helpful
This is preferable to Roacutan poisoning. Instead of Roacutan, I bought pantothenic acid for my headache and I've been taking it nearly every day for about three weeks. It seems to work better than last time, though I still have my reservations about it.

Lifesaver during allergies
I have used this product for years and it has helped with various issues. When I experience headaches, I ensure I'm staying hydrated, and taking Vitamin B5 helps significantly. In May, during pollen allergy season, I take vitamin C and a high dose of B5, which calms my symptoms effectively.
