After doing a large amount of research, I feel fairly confident saying that high-dose Potassium supplementation was the initial trigger that pushed me into two-year nightmare struggle with migraines which I am still dealing with. I didn’t do anything beyond the recommendations that you can find on gwern’s page and gwern doesn’t really recomend anything that is technically unsafe, but the fact is that (apparently!) some people are migraine prone and these people should probably definitely not do what I did. (To be clear, I’m not blaming gwern in any way, that’s merely a “community reference” that a lot of folks refer to.)

Interesting, some questions.
What is high dose?
How was the dosing achieved?
What is your sodium and magnesium intake like?
Can you link to your more important sources from you research? They could be useful to others.
I’m interested in this as well, can you send us a link of the research that you found linking potassium supplements to migraines? Thanks!
