I take codiene pills every night. 4 of them, to help me sleep and relieve the restless legs syndrome. I've been doing this for many years as well as taking more for migraines. I now take Imitrex for my migraines. I decided to stop taking the codiene pills and bam I was flattened with migraine after migraine after migrain for a week and a half, nauseau at night that would wake me up feeling like I'd have to run to the bathroom and puke.
I didn't clue in until recently that maybe it's because I stopped taking the codiene pills. I would take between 2 and 4 a night every single night.
Could that be it? Since I thought that, I started taking them again, but less and after a week I'll cut down again, then again until they are gone. But my god, the headaches are insane! If I can attribute them to this then it will be a bit of a relief, but if not I can't figure out what is causing them. They are debilitating, even with the Imitrex.
