Magnesium glycinate causing tension headaches?

[manu08]

I experienced my first CH cycle in late 2023 (so fairly recently) and quickly discovered and embraced the D3 regimen which helped me successfully take back control of my life before CH took over. I got very lucky I came across this resource so early in my CH journey, and my hydroxy 25 was already over 60 so I was able to load up quickly and my CHs tapered off as expected when I cleared 85.

Unlike some, the D3 regimen hasn't been as helpful for my other headaches, and in fact, my tension headaches have gotten more frequent and worse since I've been on the regimen. I've been trying to figure out why, and I came across this reddit thread with multiple folks sharing data points about magnesium glycinate in particular causing tension headaches.

Has anyone here experienced that? I've dealt with headaches (migraine and tension) a long time and not heard of supplementing causing headaches, but I suppose it's possible. I was considering dropping the magnesium for a few days and seeing what happens. My tension headaches are pretty much daily so I should know within a week if there's something here.

That said, I'm fairly nervous about deviating from the D3 regimen. How large is the risk that deviating from the risk reintroduces CH headaches? I realize in the short-term the risk is fairly low, but in the migraine world when a treatment works it can be pretty scary to go off it, but it's a common pattern that resuming a previously working treatment doesn't work again. Is that common for the D3 regimen? Do folks often go off it for whatever reason and find that it doesn't work if they try to do it again at a later date?
