Like GTMI said, as long as you don't start taking them for the high-and you are truly taking them for relief of the migraine you will be okay.  If you begin to take them daily, and begin to take more, and more you'd better talk to your doctor.  Or come back here.  Hopefully you only need to have them once in a great while.  Try everything possible before taking one.  Otherwise, you'll start telling yourself,,,"hmm i think i'm going to have a migraine today.....think i'll take a perc just in case'.  Very tricky little devils.

'cets are evil. If they help your migraines, accept that you might use them for the rest of your life. There's no cure for migraines and science doesn't know what causes them. If they're getting you a buzz, and you take them for a buzz, then watch out.

Also, drink a glass of prune juice every day or take stoll softeners. Percs *will* cause constipation.

Just tellin' you like it is. Also, try avoiding red wine, aged cheese and gluten to see if it alleviates the 'graines. Been there. I know they're hell. PM me if you have further questions.

It is doubtful. If you are taking as directed, for the reasons it was prescribed, there is probably no problem. Addiction is the abuse of the meds. By using for other reasons, or taking more than prescribed, etc.
