Migraines

[RobynBanks]

Dr. Do you have any suggestions for dealing with rebound headaches/migraines when detoxing from Percocet. I have a constant throbbing of a vessel on one side of my head and its really painfull; i have a hx of migraines but this is the longest- Its been 6 days. The only time i dont have a migraine is when i sleep. Is there anything I can take apart from anelgesics? Do Imitrex or Amerge work on rebounds?
Thank you

hey Gurl!  Welcome to detox!  I am on day 12 from my detox from stadol!  But i did it while taking ultram to lesson the effects and now i will be going off the ultram this weekend.  So...we can chat you know where and stuff this weekend gurl!  You can do it!  Esp with all the Thomas recipe stuff.  If you have any questions ask Thomas the expert!   Or ask me, he's my friend and i can get to him via e-mail.  
You have all you need to do it right.  Do you have anyone with you to support and encourage you?  Take plenty of hot baths too!  Walk walk walk and get outside if  you can to get your system ridding yourself of that stuff quicker.  The more you move the better but you will just feel lkie crawling in a hole and not moving believe me!  
E-mail me and let me know if i can help.  Also you can call me if you like. I will send you my phone number.  Just think this tijme next week you will be rid of that **** and doing much much better.  that devil wil be off your back!
Congratulations for your courage!

Hey!  I too suffer migraines for years.  The worst culprits that cause rebound headaches are aspirin, aecetomemaphen and ibuprofen.  Do you take any of those daily?  If so stop!  I never can take ibuprofen every day or else i get rebound.  
Imitrex and the other work well for sure.  They go right to your brain at the cause of the migraine headache.   Best wishes to you and your detox!  Congratulations! That is awesome!

Hey bud - how you doing?  I didn't catch where you where from; ever golfed at the "Greenbrier" In West Virginia?  Look it up on the "net" - a golfer's dream!!!   Love, Lisabet

Hey, sweetie - I've read your posts, but don't think we're ever corresponded....I want you to know that I think you are very brave..I can tell you are scared...In accordance to past posts, the fear of going cold turkey is actually more scary in theory than in actuality. (Although I couldn't really verify that, since I'm too "chicken ****" to go the cold turkey route)..smile.  So guess this cancels out my post---smile...
I just want you to know my good thoughts and prayers are with you; you sound really determined---good luck! Your post could have been written by me - I do good until the 6 hour mark-then I have to have my pill...I know exactly where you're coming from!  Don't be too hard on yourself; you're wanting to do better and that's a giant step!  Keep us posted, Love, Lisabet

[FINISHED!!]

Hey Tee,
Thanks for the concern & well wishes. I'm excited to be back & hopefully I can skip the possible surgery ahead & stick around a while.

Thanks,
FINISHED!!
