I was posting this in another thread but realized it probably belongs here. I get really bad migraines that last anywhere from a few hours to a few days (and one memorable and horrible one that lasted for 27 days). My doctor tried a bunch of things most of which did nothing to touch the pain. Tramodol and Floricet were two of them. Finally we tried perc 5/325 and that provides decent, if temporary, relief. I don't know alot about different meds. I was wondering if anyone else gets those kind of migraines and what medications help. Percs seem really hard to come by so other options would be good. I am thinking of trying pentazocine since it seems easy to come by. Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.

 
I am very new to this. After researching for days during my last really bad migraine I came here. One of the vendors recommended seems good but alas no p's. I'm just so leary of sending money to strangers without some really good references.

 
Me thinks a doctor can easily prescribe an effective migraine med WITHOUT having to go through the 'blackmarket'. At least that's been my experience. No problems at all. And non-addictive. 

 
I wish that were true and maybe it would be if I had insurance and months to make a trial and error approach. I tried to do it the correct way but months of trying things that aren't working is draining money with no result.

I'm sorry to hear that. Well, at least you tried. Sad our government spends more $$ on killing people, than on helping them.

 
It just frustrates the hell out of me.  I hear these people complaining about the DR's but honestly mine has tried so very, very hard to help me.  I feel bad for her as much as me when the newest approach fails.  We've done Imitrex, Prozac, Steroid therapy, Trams, Floricets, and a few other things I can't remember off the top of my head.  Everything is compounded by the fact that I get a lot of weird side effects from meds and I have a severe anxiety disorder.  

I tried an appointment with a headache specialist/neurologist but she demands $200 dollars up front before each visit since I didn't have insurance.  That seemed a little pricey but hey, she IS a specialist.  So I paid.  Then I find out that each test she wants to do (3, total, the cheapest starting at 200 bucks and the most expensive going in at around 800) aren't included in the original fee, which was just for the office visit.  She wanted me to pay for all three up front before doing the tests and then another 200 for the appointment.  I walked out and went back to my GP.  She at least has always proved she has my best interests in mind and not just making as much money as she can out of me. 

I don't qualify for any of the extreme measures (such as Botox injections) because you need to experience 50% headache days a month or something similar to get that prescribed.  Mine vary too much.  I can go one month with only two migraines and the next month spend most of it in pain.  Then the next three months be pretty well fine with just using Tylenol PMs to sleep it off before swinging back into a bad month.  

 
New migraine just crashed into my skull like a piano landing on my head. Just got down with a round og puking. Littlr letters swimming in front of my eyes t ft ying to read phone. F*** this. Makes me want to drive a rsilroad spike into my eye to make Iy stop

 
I used to get severe migraines like you(puking, light sensitivity, my brain being sledge hammered for days, etc) but I luckily ended up seeing 1 of the best headache specialists in the nation about it. His advice was quit drinking pop, booze & crack drinks that I lived off of and only drink lots of water(I still cheat & have a crack bull occasionally). He said dehydration is 1 of the main causes in headache suffers. I didn't think it'd work but gave it a shot & since then I haven't had a single migraine in years. Still get occasional headaches but nothing a couple ex can't take care of. BTW, pk's always caused rebound headaches w/me. It may or may not work for everyone but it's worth a shot.

 
I already don't drink alcohol or soda....so thats a no go. God I hope its not cigarettes or I'm doomed. Rebound headaches are like mosquito bites compared to the migraines so they don't bother me much.

 
Cigarettes are sure to give me a migraine. The only effective med I found to get rid of a migraine was prescription only, and it was specifically for migraines. Gone on 10 minutes. But no matter how many Tylenol or Asprins I took, the migraine would never go away. I'm sorry but I don't remember the name of the migraine med, but I would imagine most of them contain the same ingredient. I got it from my doctor.

If the name happens to come to you let me know. The Immitrex family of meds gave me chest pain and really shortness of breath and my DR yanked me off them pretty quick.

 
And.......relief.

Hyd roxy zine first

Half hour later p e r c 7.5

Ate some pineapple

2nd p e r c 7.5

BLISSSSSSSSS

I really need to find a non opiod solution to these things.

Looking forward to trying SL's pen ta co zine to see what effect they'll have on them. Still a partial opiod agonist but weaker version and no Apap. Be nice if those work.

Yeah, it looks like mine are possibly from the "same family" that gave you chest pain. They are called Imigran (Sumatriptan). But for me, no bad side effects at all.

I was reading these posts on migraines and thought I could add my own experience...I've had migraines for years and they were never really under control until I didn't try to "break" the migraine with meds but instead tried to "prevent" the migraine. If you can find your triggers and eliminate them (ie food, stress, lack of sleep) that really helps. Read the book "Heal your headache", it can help you find a trigger. ALSO, prevention meds really helped me: amitrip or nortrip, topiramate as well as vitamin B2. Some people have luck with magnesium. Supplements like migrelief can help. I received a lot of help from a neurologist about prevention. The triptans as mentioned before I have for when I do get one. /default_smile.png

 
I wish I could just avoid triggers. Bright lights, loud noises and my anxiety attacks all kick off my migraines. The first one happens in any direct sunlight (I can also get sunburn in under 10 minutes) so my kids joke I'm a vampire. The second is impossible to avoid due to....well, the kids. The third can't be avoided cause I'm crazy.

My doctor did figure out my SSRIs were increasing them dramatically and since she switched me off them they are much less frequent. They went from 5-7 days a week to 1-3. The Tr@z@done she prescribed me as an antidepressant/sleep aid helps some but it's not helping my anxiety attacks at all. The meds like 1mm1trex I have horrible side effects with and she quickly stopped trying those since they affected my breathing.

Currently having one which is probably why I'm back in this topic. The pain is awful but the other symptoms just make it so much worse than if it was just a headache. They make me puke and make me dizzy. In the beginning everything starts to look and sound far away and I get disoriented.

My very first migraines cops found me wandering in the road lost and couldn't even tell them where I lived. Apparently I just parked my car and decided to walk home before getting lost and confused. At least most of the time that symptom is short lived and then the pain hits.

Blah. I hate these things so much.

At least my anxiety disorder and I have a somewhat working relationship but the migraines make it impossible to do anything but sit in the dark.

 
Sorry to hear you have migraines.  The only thing that has helped me in the past is ImmitraX and 5mg o*YC*Done.  There are some essential oils that can add to the mix that does amazing work for my migraines.

Essential Oils:

8 drops lavender with 4 drops of Roman Chamomile 

The three work together and my migraine magically disappears.  

I hope you feel better soon!

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  5. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP
  8. L @ Layne_Cobain: @ClintEastwood make a post about it homie they’re gonna take down your message here cuz shout box isn’t really for talking shop just random shooting the shit exc but yeh just put your message in a post on the forum in the appropriate place and ppl will get at you! 👊 ✌️
  9. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
