Has anyone taken gabapentin specifically to stop the aura and associated effects like palinopsia, AIWS, or vss and had good results? Not including pain.

Glycine is a co agonist to glutamate at the NMDA receptor, but at the same time exhibits inhibitory effects outside of the brain. In theory, the addition of glycine should worsen symptoms in many upon taking magnesium glycinate (well, the magnesium theoretically blocks the receptor so neither can go in, but this is assuming that there is enough magnesium, which there is almost never enough in neurological issues).
Yet magnesium glycinate is still recommended for migraines and VSS, over other forms like Taurate which can even enhance gaba? Any theories why glycine can be fine for many despite the excitatory effects on the brain?

I have always had migraines, but for some reason they started to feature aura again after 10 years, but instead of the aura happening like 20% of time it’s 100%. They’re happening once a week now and they’re incapacitating me for two days after and are extremely scary, safe to say they’re ruining my life. I feel hopeless, did anything work for your aura specifically? Not the headache part, but the visual distortions and aiws.
