headache

jyv
I posted about an hour ago and then called my nurse. (I am on Hospice care) she told me I needed to take more vicodin!  I want off this crap--can anyone tell me anything about these headaches?  Is it usuall?  Joyce

Joyce~  The headaches ARE usual. It's the withdrawal from the pain meds. You don't need to put yourself through all of this.  The nurse was correct,in my opinion. Go back on the Vicodin for now and you'll feel better.

I don't know the reason you are on hospice care..So not sure if that has anything to do with the headaches..If not..It is possible the Vicodin is giving you headaches.I was taking a lot of Them and started getting bad headaches..But if you are trying to cut them out that will also give you a awful headache..You need to call your Dr..The nurse is just giving you the quick answer..If it is the Vicodin giving you the headaches;they will just get worse if you take more..Praying you feel better..
