Another Biotin Concern: Headaches

[cocoberry10]

Hi Ladies:

I'm not sure if someone posted about this before, but I am wondering if biotin causes headaches. I have been taking my vitamins religiously, and wonder if taking higher doses of biotin causes headaches. Please let me know. Thanks.

Yes and Yes! I have noticed it causes headaches. But now I take it at night and I have no side effects during the day. I also had bad acne when I first started. But now that my body has adjusted to it they went away. But I noticed, for a week while I wasn't taking them, I got headache again.

I've been taking 5mg of biotin for over a month and haven't had any headaches....the only time I remember getting a headache is when I tried to increase my MSM from 500 to 1000mg (when I first started using it) now I'm up to 1500mg with no problems at all.

I hope your headache goes away!

It gave me headaches that my Excedrin couldn't knock out. Then I took the advice from someone that said to increase water intake. I also make sure I take it right after I eat. No more headaches.

Yes I have experienced these headaches after taking Biotin 1500 mcg by Rexall so I have stopped

Thanks. I normally drink a lot of water, but lately I have been slacking. I will up the intake again.

Yes Cocoberry10 it does. You have to drink more water and also absorbs more vitamin c (orange juice). The more biotin you consume the more vit c and water you have to take else you get headaches and breakouts

You welcome Cocoberry10! i know i used to swallow all my vits with a huge glass of orange juice but now that i switched from the tablets msm to the powdered one, it taste sour mixing it in orange juice so i mix the msm in water and my hair vit Vitol Great hair contains enough vitamin c for my biotin pills. i drink from 64 oz to one gallon of water per day so i dont get any headaches and i take 10mg of biotin

i take 10 mg..trying to get that candy_c hair..i drink tons of water all day..no headaches here

I got headaches, but honestly this time of year it could have been Biotin or my allergies. I only remember having them abt 3 times since I increased to 5mg, so it was probably the Biotin. If it was allergies it would be more frequent I guess...

I took an Aleve and it was gone in no time.

I had headaches but when I started taking biotin before I went to sleep they went away.

 

[c.maree626]

ive been taking biotin 5000mcg.. and OMG i swear those headaches were the worst!. i noticed that when i didnt drink at least 2 bottles of water my head would start pounding about 4 hours after taking it. also i started feeling a little sluggish.. most likely brought on by the headaches!. well my nails are beautiful. i guess with every positive theres a negative =(

No headaches...just a sore scalp.
