Q: I took 3 tablets for a migraine that contained codeine, Will this show on hair drug test?
I took the tablets over the course of 3 days, about a month ago. I used someone elses prescription as I was out what really sucks is they didn’t even help the migraine. I usually take relpax which does not contain any pain reliever. It was stupid but without any relpax i was willing to try anything.
A: Yes, you might talk to your doctor that treats you for migraines and see if he will write you a note or prescription to explain the presence of codiene in your system.
Q: have you ever woken up with a severe migraine?
I have 5-10 migraines per year and this morning I woke up with the worst migraine i have had in over a year… i have no clue what caused it. I don’t drink much…and i didn’t last night… but i woke up with such a migraine that I had to take a prescription drug (I only really need 10 per year) and at a high dose. It was incredibly bad. If there was no relpax (the drug) i’d probably have to have been given morophine… i mean, the pain was unbearable… but the question is – WHY? I will ask my doctor tomorrow but I’m just curious if anyone’s had this.
A: Migraines are very related to epilepsy. Many epilepsy meds work on migraines. My child’s epilepsy meds work as an insulin mimic although she is not diabetic. You might try going to an endocrinologist. My mother suffered from migraines and was years later diagnosed with type II diabetes. When she got her blood sugar under control, her migraines subsided substantially. The bottom line is that blood sugar could very possibly be something for you to consider. It could also be a hypoglycemic reaction. If having drinks has caused you to wake up with migraines in the past (though you didn’t say if drinks do that or not) it would be in alignment with the blood sugar thing since alcohol can cause a hypoglycemic reaction.
Try making sure your blood sugar isn’t going up and down too crazy and that certainly might be an experiment worth trying.
Also, consider watching out for eating too much MSG’s. Monosodium glutamates. That may or may not help, but the cause an excitatory response in the brain that some people can’t turn off easily due to not having enough GABA. MSG’s made my child’s seizures much more frequent. The meds she takes also inhibits glutamates as well as behaving as an insulin mimic.
Q: Drug interaction question?
I am a sufferer of chronic migraines. My neurologist prescribed 20 mg tablets of relpax and 375 mg tablets of naproxen to be taken together, one each, at the onset of a migraine. I did just that a few hours ago and it did not seem to do too much for my headache. The relpax can be repeated within an hour or two, so I did that, only to find very little relief.
I obtained vicodin in case the going got really bad. I am hesitant to take it on account of the other medications I took today, but the relief is sorely needed as it may be impossible for me to fall asleep like this.
I used the drug interaction checker on medscape.com to see if this combination would present any potential dangers, and none were found. Obviously I want the perspective of informed people as opposed to machines, because who knows what kind of discrepancies there are…
Anyone know anything about this combo? The relpax & naproxen were taken approx 6 hours ago, and the 2nd relpax about 4 hours ago. If the combo is safe, should I still wait to take the vicodin? I am in very severe pain.
A: It’s OK to take the Vicodin (hydrocodone/APAP) now. If you have no/insignificant relief after the second Relpax (eletriptn), wait at least 1 hour then take the Vicodin.
There is no significant interaction between the medications.
Q: Anyone else been told that their migraines can be affected by the moon phases?
I suffer from chronic migraines. I take Relpax (love it, miracle drug). Usually get one 2-3 times a month. I have had one now on and off for 5 days. I called my doctor who I love, he is conventional but not conventional if you know what I mean (he recommended accupuncture for carpal tunnel which was the ONLY thing that helped!). He said that all of his migraine patients had been calling or coming in, it is because of the phase the moon is in and the changing of the phase. When it passes so will my current migraine problems. He has told me this before. He always “knows” when migraine patients will call because of the moon phase changing.
Anyone else ever heard this??
A: yes, yes , especially if u are a water / moon sign . iam cancer jun21-jul21 and i only have migranies at new or dark of the moon , try getting a calander with all the moon phases on it to track ur migraines.
Q: What do you do to stop/prevent your migraine headaches?
I can no longer take “relpax” or any of those triptan drugs, because I am trying to get pregnant! Yet, I still am suffering from the occasional migraine.
Any advice would be appreciated…
A: I have had migraines since age 12, what I have found out is that I can avoid them, I cant stop getting them ever, but I get them way less often. I have cut down a bunch on caffiene, I love chocolate but if I eat to much there it is a migraine! So now I will eat one piece and make sure its the dark chocolate at least 60% cocoa its great for women. I cannot drink alcohol I will get the migraine almost as soon as I am done with the drink! Sugar I love in my coffee I do not like other sweetners cannot stand the after taste, but my Dr. gave me 2 good options, cut what I use by half, or replace with pure honey. Honey is very good for us, gives a great energy boost as well and no migraine. Also I found out that flourescent lights such as in the malls etc. cause me to get a migraine, I spoke to my eyedoctor and he said yes this happens to many people, wear gray tinted sunglasses and it works! And guess what when I was pregnant I never got a migraine, I hope I have helped, I know how bad they R! People who never had a migraine have no idea! Good luck, good heath, and hope u get pregnant soon!
Q: need to know if the prescription drugs i’m taking cause a positive drug result for thc?
effexor xr 150mg,topamax 100mg, lexapro 20mg, relpax 40mg, frova 2.5mg,qxycodone w/apap 5/500, lunesta 3mg,alprazolam 0.5mg, tramodol hcl acetaminophe, lamictal 100mg, ibuprofen 1600mg
A: My research says that large quantities of ibuprofen can do it. I don’t know how good my source is, though… The oxy will definitely set off a narc test, though.
Who, in God’s name, is allowing you to take all these drugs at once?! I count two antidepressants, an antianxiety, two migraine meds, two heavy duty pain meds, one large dose pain med, and a sleeping medication. And I missed some!
Seriously, you need to be careful, especially if you’re taking the oxy with the tramadol. They both have acetaminophen, and doubling up on that can kill your liver.
Managing chronic pain is complicated, I know, but I think you need to bring all your bottles to your doctor and ask them if, really, you should be taking all of these.
Q: If you get migraines, what is the best way for you to deal with them?
Do you take over the counter drugs, or did a doctor give you a script for something that seems to work? What triggers your migraines? I usually take Relpax for my migraines, but can’t because I’m breastfeeding. I was wondering if there is anything else out there that may be safer for me to take, or even something else I can do aside from taking drugs. Thanks!
A: Try an icepack,apply to the area that hurts worst, and to the temples and the back of the neck, all at once. Try it for 15 to 20 minutes at a time, as often as needed.
Most migraine prescriptions target constricting the veins in the neck that flow to the brain. Ice reduces inflammation and can have the same effect.
The Dr. also forbid looking at the TV and computer screens, when my daughter was having severe migraines. Dark room,quiet and stay hydrated.Dehydration can trigger a migraine in those prone to them. Once migraine starts make sure you keep drinking fluids, and avoid caffein for it will dehydrate you.

Q: Need help from expert on chronic headaches?
I know this is LONG, but if you know anything about headaches (professionally), espcially MD/experts/specialists PLEASE read.
For the past 10 years, I have been battling progressively worsening migraines/tension headaches. (I can pretty much take care of the tensions with TENS unit, heat and regular massages) but the migraines occur 3-5+ times per week and are debilitating. I have been on 78 different medications- preventatives, abortives, narcotics, psychiatric meds as well pure oxygen), pretty much everything that is traditionally used to treat migraines and then some. I’ve stopped smoking, drinking alcohol, stabilized caffeine at 200mg/day consistently and worked on nutrition/exercise. I am still in pain every day.
I have had MRIs, CT scans, bloodwork inc. TSH, seen 3 different neurologists, a headache specialist, 4 different psychiatrists (the first neuro referred me after nothing he tried worked), an ENT and an eye doctor. Perfect sinuses. 20/20 vision. Nothing is pathologically wrong. I’ve had 2 facet blocks and an occipital nerve block, physical therapy. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I am 23 years old and no doctor wants to treat chronic intractable migraines in someone that young. I suppose I appear like a drug seeker, but I’m truly not. I’m in nursing school and just want to finish, get my MPH and work in public health. I also have severe social anxiety, severe insomnia and depression (in the past) and have finally found a psychiatrist who has me on the right combination of meds for that (Lexapro, Ativan, Ambien and Seroquel). I cringe at the thought of going to another neurologist since they like to dabble in psych meds (which I understand is necessary), but they usually end up adding something that throws off the combination I’ve finally achieved to control my anxiety and depression. For instance, Keppra made me suicidal and Zonegran made me have multiple panic attacks which my psychiatrist had to intervene and add ridiculously high dosages of even more benzos so I could just go to school and work.
I’m honestly just tired inside and ready to give up. I understand narcotics are not routinely used to treat migraines, but are there special exceptions, because the ONLY medications that work (other than Midrin) are Nubain, Stadol, and hydrocodone. Demerol doesn’t work. Ultram, pentazocine, codeine, Darvocet, oxycodone, none of these work, so as you can see, I’m not looking to get high or I’d be fine with Demerol and Percocets. Truly, the most effective is Nubain. ALL it does is stop the headache. No “high”- I can still function. Sedation isn’t a problem as my body chemistry seems to react opposite to what will usually “knock someone else out” (for example, I am on 6mg Ativan + up to 30mg Tranxene PRN to control anxiety and it doesn’t make me the least bit sleepy). I am fully capable of giving myself IM injections as it only comes parenterally. I know it is not exactly desirible, but my quality life is at ZERO and I would rather give myself frequent injections than live like this. Nubain has a ceiling effect, antagonistic properties, is less habit-forming than the pure mu agonists, will antagonize other narcotics, and is not scheduled by the DEA (no scrutiny). What are the chances of having this prescribed for home use. I am already forced to go sit in waiting rooms IN AGONIZING pain 2-4 times a week for something I can easily do myself.
Meds I’ve been on for headaches or as an off-shoot psychiatrist-prescribed related TO the primary problem of headaches (and it’s a long list): virtually every OTC, Zoloft, Elavil, Imitrex, Maxalt, Zomig, Amerge, Frova, Relpax, Axert, Pamelor, Neurontin, Migranal, Melatonin, Lithium, Keppra, Inderal, Indocin, Cataflam with Reglan, Namenda, Esgic, Lithium, Pristiq, Mobic, Zonegran, Toradol, Paxil, Wellbutrin, Abilify, Trazodone, Buspar, Geodon, Zyprexa, Topamax, Depakote, Verapamil, PURE O2 @12 L, Esgic, Toradol, Ultram, Magnesium, Celebrex, Vioxx, dicflocenac, Lidocaine (intranasally), Vistaril, Haldol, Solu-medrol, Lexapro, Midrin, Naprosyn, Seroquel, Ativan, Restoril, Ambien, Rozerem, Lunesta, Sonata, Valium, Klonopin, Tranxene + NARCOTICS (as “rescue meds”) – Nubain, Stadol NS, Pentazocine (Talacen), Lortab, Intravenous Demerol, Darvocet, Percocet, and Tylenol #3.
I realize I’ve been medicated to the point that I don’t really know what is doing what. I know I need the Lexapro/Ativan. I’m trying to get back to natural sleep, cutting back the dosage of sleep Ambien/Seroquel for sleep (ironically neither works alone, but they work great together).
So, just to be frank, I really don’t want medications suggested (I’d be open to it, of course, but very wary). I know what works and what doesn’t. And if it’s something I haven’t tried and is related, that is if it is anticonvulsant, antidepressant, etc. I’m just not interested. I think I’ve been a good sport in giving those a chance, and I’m done playing the guinea pig. I know it’s trial-and-error but it
A: Well there is this site I found that talks on migraine relief without medication and that may help if you tried all those medications and it did not work. I hope you get over your migraines!
Q: Are there any new treatments for Migraine headaches?
I started having Migraines at 15. By the time I was 20 I was having them everyday. They just vary in pain levels; sometimes I have the full blown; pounding, cant, eat, sleep, nausea, light sensitivity etc. Where all I can to is hide in a dark, quiet room with an ice bag on my head, these can last for 3 days. While other times, it is moderate pain that I can treat with pain medication and be able to somewhat manage the day. I never drive while on narcotics. (I just don’t want that to be an issue)
Over the years I have been to numerous neurologists, had every conceivable scan and test. I have been in pain clinics, in Chicago, San Fransisco and Utah. I have been on every drug or herb that promised relief- or prevention, nothing helps. When Imitrex was introduced, it sounded like a miracle. The very first injection stopped my heart; even though I have no heart problems. It was a blessing that I was in the hospital when they tried it, so they could get my heart going again. Because of that extreme reaction I was cautioned to never try Triptans again. So I cannot use; Relpax, Axert, Frova, Amerge, Maxalt, Zomig or Treximet. I have heard that Botox helps. But there is no way I can afford the hundreds it would cost.
Is anyone aware of anything new- I’m honestly at the end of my road- Thirty years of constant pain is too long.
Thanks for your answers!
Dares to care- I have also tried chiropractors, Some who did full adjustments, others sho did little clicking thing in my ears, saying they were minimpulating the small bones i my ears, neck etc. physical therasipts, acupunurists. I honestly don’t know of a specialty I haven’t seen.
A: First of all, many things that are diagnosed as “migraines” are actually cervicogenic headaches (neck caused) instead. A misalignment in your neck can cause a headache that mimics a migraine ( even to the light sensitivity and nausea). A “True” Migraine is related to circulation.
I would recommend that you try a chiropractor. If it is a cervicogenic headache, realigning your neck should take care of most of the headache. If it is a “true” migraine, the chiropractic still may help( even though chiropractic only helps between 40-50% of true migraines). But it may be another option for you.
I really wish you the best.
Q: Headaches!!!!?
Im having BIG trouble w/ headaches lately.. some are migrane, some feel like cluster, and some like tension!! I work in a pharmacy and i have heard of a few “new” drugs for things like this coming out…but i want a different option, ive been in and out of the ER for them, a list of things that no longer work…any tylenol Ibuprofen..excedrin…relpax…immitrex…naproxin sodium..any suggestions?
sorry advil doesnt work either..the new thing is coming out as sumatriptan and naproxin and itll be expensive…so i have asked of just taking the 2 together would be the same….yes it is..i have not tried head on…i hate that advertisment
A: You need to see your licensed physician and exactly explain the symptoms. He/she might refer you to a headache clinic for a good diagnosis. I work in a pharmacy as well, so you should know a few good meds, like Imitrex (also might want to consider the injectable Imitrex if they are that serious), Topamax, etc.
Q: Tramadol for headaches?
First off, I have always suffered from horrible headaches. While they aren’t migraines, the pain can be quite strong, and I recently completed a prescription for tramadol that I was given a few years back. I have found that taking only 1 pill kills the headache quickly, and it works far better for me than other prescription medicines (Imitrex, Relpax, etc.) that are out there. The bad part is now that I have moved to another city, I need to find a new doctor, but I’m worried that most doctors are hesitant to prescribe this medication although it works wonderfully and is very inexpensive to deal with my headache problems. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should approach this problem with a new doctor? Obviously I don’t want to make the doctor feel that I am dependent on this prescription drug, but I would love to keep a supply of them to d
A: I also suffer from headaches, Cluster Headaches to be exact, I found that Zomig Melt Tabs work good.. sometimes i will boil a pot of water and breathe the steam with a towel over my head as well… Good Luck

Is anyone aware of anything new- I’m honestly at the end of my road- Thirty years of constant pain is too long.
I never eat cheese, chocolate or consume alcohol of any kind. I honestly think I have been on every medication, type, including the ergotomines, anti-depressents, calcium channel blockers, anit inflamitories. So many herbs among them fever few, really far too many to list. They had me on ms contin (a slow acting morphine that I used 3 times daily. Honestly everything. I was just wondering if there was any thing “new”. I never want to give up trying to find relief.
I do appreciate the time you both took to email me. I try and exercise both mentally and physically everyday, unless I am in too much pain to leave the dark. I have never tried the hot compress on the neck, I have always used ice on both my forehead and neck. I will give that a try.
And I have been through chiropractic care too. Some who did full adjustments, others who did little clicking sounds in my ear, telling me they were adjusting the small bones of the inner ear and neck. Another had me hold a blow dryer and turned it on. He then said I was hyper sensitive to electricity, and I needed to avoid being around any electric appliances or towers. SIGH
A: The four ‘Cs’ of food – caffeine, chocolate, citrus fruits and cheese are the major dietary culprits behind migraine.
·
Red wine and fried foods are also suspected for triggering it.
A hot compress on the neck and a cold one on the forehead give some relief. Avoid hot one on the neck if it creates more trouble.
There is no known medical cure for migraine headaches, and often migraine sufferers become discouraged when treatments do not rectify the problem. Doctors often prescribe a combination of medications such as abortive and preventative drugs, to try and prevent the migraine before it begins or lessen the pain when a migraine strikes.
Abortive medications will stop the headache and may prevent the recurrence of symptoms. They should be taken at the first indication of a migraine headache. Over-the-counter medications include Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID’s) such as ibuprofen, ketoprofen, and naproxen as well as aspirin.
Prescribed medications include ergotamine, a vasoconstrictor, and serotonin receptor agonists. Preventive medication is specifically geared towards people who suffer from recurrent migraines, experiencing at least one a week, and includes prescription medication such as beta-blockers, anti-depressants, anti-convulsants and calcium channel blockers.
Natural Remedies
Herbal and homeopathic remedies can offer an effective natural solution and can be of assistance in alleviating the painful and discomforting symptoms of a migraine. Herbs such as Silybum marianus (Milk Thistle), Passiflora Incarnata and Hypericum perforatum (also known as St. John’s Wort) can be extremely beneficial in helping to soothe the recurrence of pounding headaches. In addition, studies have suggested that the herb Feverfew, when used regularly, can help to eliminate or greatly reduce the frequency and severity of headaches and migraines.
