I have been having migraine like headaches too. I was on regular Gluc for a month and had no problems with headaches. I just switched to the Gluc XR and have been having bad headaches everyday. I'm on 1000mg a day. I have had no problem with stomach upset or diarreha though.

Not tonight but for the past 2 nights I have had migraines all day long! It it on one side of my head, then switches. Today I luckily didn't get one. Before I started Gluco I would only have a headache every so often, now I get them a lot more.

Angry whoa-me too!

Man oh man, I thought that may be the problem! I am on 850mg/day since 11/12/02, and I have had to go the hospital 2x for a shot to ease the pain! I have migraines maybe a few times a year, but to have them last so long, and come so often in such a short period of time is a rarity. Darn these meds...cause headaches ain't all that's happening!

Take care! Crina
