  • I understand your pain, I've had migraines for 21 years and my problem is rebound headaches. I will be going in the hospital soon to detox off the pain meds. I've detoxed several times but always get hooked again. This time I will detox under the doctors care instead of on my own. I hope yours have stopped.

  • @CSouthCac Detox was awful and rebound headaches was my problem as well. Detox was like getting off of a hard drug. I was vomiting, sick to my stomach, had the chill but sweating like crazy. I was just bad. All I was taking was Motrin and Excedrin but I had to take it every 8 and 4 hours. It was like this for and entire year. I never stopped taking them and the headaches never stopped.

My doctor said I was probably getting stress headaches (I was in an abusive relationship when at the time) and he said I started taking a lot of pain pills for the pain and after a while I became immune to the pills and when that has even the smallest pain can feel like a nightmare. However, he made me stop taking the tylenol and motrin and I actually had withdraws. I was sick and vomiting.

  • @kerry31088 It was awful. So no matter what you do go see a doctor and don't take too many pain pills...
