Title: Trigger for me
Post by superhawk2300 on Apr 12^th, 2006, 10:05pm

I think one of my suppliments I take is a trigger for me. It is a hemo-dialator, makes the blood vessels bigger.

I thought it should help, being that the Verapamil lowers blood pressure - so should this. But it seems to trigger the Beast in me.

Just thought I'd share - anyone on a suppliment that makes you more vascular might want to check it for being a trigger.

Hope this helps someone!

It makes sense, Hawk. The triptans are vaso-constrictors and that's how they abort the hits. It feels right that anything that is a vaso-dilator would have the opposite effect.
