Guest guest Posted April 20, 1998 Report Share Posted April 20, 1998 I took mega doses one time since the Dr. thought I may have a B2 dependency disorder. My lip swelled until I thought it would burst so I had to take a whole bottle of B complex in one day to help as I remembered you usually should not take 1 single B vitamin alone as they work synergistically. When you take just one you are unbalancing the others becuase they work together in many places in the body and taking too much of one creates an increased need for the others so they all can metabolize on thru. I actually had the mental sensation by the end of the day of the total brain clearing and the lip swelling went down and healed consequently. Of course, I could not keep taking that hugh an amount of B complex on a regular basis. I also have heard that a lack of riboflavin causes you not to dream.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 1999 Report Share Posted April 20, 1999 Dear Cheri I don't know about riboflavin and seizures, but it has been very effective against my son's migraines, and apparently there are studies which confirm its anti-migraine uses. Angus takes 200mg at night.

Hi, It has been told to me that riboflavin helped someone with seizures. I was wondering if anyone else on the list has had that experience. What experience have others had with riboflavin, seizures aside. thanks, Cheri ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Share the wealth! http://www.ONElist.com Tell a friend about ONElist's 115,000 free e-mail communities! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brought to you by www.imdn.org - an on-line support group for those affected by mitochondrial disease.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 1999 Report Share Posted April 20, 1999 Hi Cheri, My daughter has seizures and is on riboflavin. But she is on the riboflavin to control the headaches she has been having. She takes 400mg/day and we have seen a definite reduction in the frequency of her headaches on this dose. Alison does not have seizures very often. She is on tegretol and phenobarbitol. She only has seizures when we try to adjust her medication. We tried tapering the phenobarbitol a few months ago and one week after she was off of it she started having seizures again and wouldn't stop so she ended back on very low dose phenobarbitol as part of her seizure control medication. I haven't heard anything about riboflavin and seizures, only about it helping the migraines.
