Headache with gummies

Hello, Im a medical marijuana patient for my severe migraines and have been for years. Within the past 6-8 months I have been using my BHO to make gummies and since the dose is getting higher and higher I have been getting more migraines. I read online that if you take a high dose gummy it most likely will give you a headache which thats the reason I take it in the first place to elevate them.

I take a 130mg gummy every evening aroun 6pm because my migraines usually happen while im sleeping. Well it seems I get one every day now.... If I smoke one instead of taking gummies Im fine in the morning BUT I hate to smoke a Joint so thats why i went to gummies.

Would using RSO instead of BHO work the same because i can and have made both? I do want to point out I vacuum my batches for at least a week to remove the butane so Im sure its not that.

Thought's?
 
If you can manage, a 48hr abstinence should reset your tolerance so you can revert back to the dosage you started at. If you can manage 2 days once every few months it's not a bad plan of action.

Instead of burning flowers, you could vaporize your concentrates.

You did not shared the cause of your headaches, and that detail is kinda important to what advice we would recommend.

I have had a MRI and nothing was found, i have had X-rays etc and nothing is found. All my neurologist wanted to do was pump me up with pills so we wnt to cannabis. It helps alot, probably cut them in half!

All I know is when I wake up I usually wake up with a full blown migraine so it happens in my sleep. I do however found triggers which will instantly start one is cigarette smoke, smoke from fires or even to much squinting from the sun will do it...
 
I don't have the headache problem per say but chiming in anyhow to suggest changing the strain. Also doing a lossy frozen etoh tincture to limit the chlorophyll. At the moment I'm feeling like purpley and citrusy flower may be the least headachy for me. But I may change my mind and mileage may vary.
 
just a thaught, any change in the gummy itself?
When you consume too much sugar at once or don't eat for an extended period of time, you can cause rapid fluctuations in your blood sugar levels which can trigger a headache. Some people are more prone to these sugar-triggered headaches

Good question!!! I do get headaches when i dont eat either. And now that you mention it I went from putting several ingredients to make them (been working on it for awhile) to an easier option from Walmart. I been lazy and buying lorann mix.

I was going to start just making capsules and skip all the gummy stuff, I dont eat for the flavor thats for sure...
