Panic Attacks, Migraines, GERD

Try MAGNESIUM.

Magnesium has helped me immensely with both migraines and anxiety. Google it and you’ll find studies medical evidence that it can work.

Something else could be contributing to her migraines & anxiety, but certainly worth a try to supplement.

My neurologist recommended I try magnesium as a last ditch before going on a daily drug. I was tested later and it turned out I did have a magnesium deficiency, so that’s something you could request.

I started on pills but now I take the natural calm powder.

I had a host of issues and cured most of it by changes to diet and taking some supplements. PLease do not use any acid blocker for GERD because it will devastate other systems in your body.

I read "Magnesium Miracle" and started taking ReMag (liquid magesiym), and I am a new person. For GERD, make sure that you do not eat after 5 pm. Nix all breads and processed foods. Eat simple easy to digest, fiber rich carbs like oatmeal, with lots of organic meats, fresh vegetables and fruits. Take probiotics. For GERD, what works very effectively and instantly is taking Slippery Elm. It coats your inside with mucous and helps to heal your gut.

Depression in teens is very often triggered by inflammation in body and brain, poor sleep cycle, stress etc. Magnesium helps with your gut as well as for your sleep cycle.

I highly recommend Children's. My DD16 had migraines, GERD, and anxiety, so very similar to your child. We went to a terrible children's neurologist who had her on all sort of really strong migraine preventatives and I was getting concerned.

At the same time, we went to see a psychiatrist who put her on anti-anxiety meds and also went to a new neurologist at Children's. She started us on non-prescription preventatives for the migraines. My dd has not had a migraine in over a year and her anxiety is under control.

I'm not sure which stopped the migraines the anti-anxiety medication or the non prescription medicine, but they are gone for now. The GERD seems to be a little better now so we are just letting that go for now.

Our psychiatrist is not at Children's, but we have seen other specialties there are the suggestion of out pediatrician and have been very pleased.

I've had good luck with a combination of magnesium, CoQ10, and B2. But don't go overboard with the magnesium, because it will cause terrible digestive issues. I thought there was something seriously wrong with me, until I figured it out and backed off on the dosage. CoQ10 can be really expensive, but Costco has good prices on the gelcaps.

I also take a very low daily dose of gabapentin, which doesn't have any side effects for me at that level, and has very few drug interactions. (Topamax and its alternatives gave me embarrassing facial twitches and a numb nose and tongue.) My neurologist said she often prescribes gabapentin for her elderly patients who have a lot of different conditions they're dealing with, because it plays well with most other medications.

Mine were mostly chronic, near-daily mid-level migraines, starting about age 12. I only occasionally get the classic well-defined debilitating migraine with aura.

5mg melatonin at night and 400 mg riboflavin (split 200 mg in am/pm) a day.

Op GERD Shouldn’t be an issue in children. Get to the root of the problem instead of resorting to medications. Either your child is allergic to something or the food combinations being ingested is driving acid reflux. The western world pays very little attention to food combining leading to chronic gut diseases which in turn breeds other things including neurological, psychological issues. Yes they’re all linked.

Don't listen to this nonsense nor ignore migraines if they are true migraines. If vitamins can fix it it is not a true migraine.

This is the best advice so far.

This is exactly right. Bad food combinations can easily make you sick.

DD started taking 75 mg/day of Zoloft and panic attacks, OCD issues and IBS slowly disappeared over several months.

You are misinformed.

Best advice re: dosing I got was to slowly increase your dose. When you get diarrhea, back off a little.

So tell me why it doesn't work for anyone I know? Do you even have real migraines?

Your post is misleading as the gabapentin is probably what worked for you and that is a preventative.
