Comment:
I tried feverfew for my migraines which I have struggled with since childhood, I found that if I take two at the onset it usually would get rid of my migraine but if taken more than once (tried taking daily for a couple weeks) it brought on menstruation and I had a shortened cycle. Since my headaches are mainly hormonal that is very bad. So try it but if your a woman be cautious.

Comment:
I drink an herbal tea I found containing feverfew when I feel the onset of a Migraine or when I am really stressed and know I may get one. The feverfew tea does make me drowsy but I normally wake up with very little to no Migraine. I have had epilepsy since I was a child and this is one of the only ways I can relieve my headaches.

Comment:
How much and how often should one take feverfew for hormonal migraine headaches? One poster here said to take 300 mg minimum of feverfew when a migraine comes on. Should one take it prior to migraines to try to head them off? I understand that everyone is different so it may just be a case of trial and error.
