"As a migraine sufferer, my doctor prescribed a percocet."

I hate percocet!

I took everything in the medical pantry, and percocet was the worst. Demerol was the best.
I've got a library full of books on headaches, none of which ever did me any good. I finally went ahead and had my stroke which cost me half the vision in my left eye. It was well worth it.
I haven't had a migraine in four years.

I know your pain. I'm sorry.

Wow, TC, I am sorry about your stroke--though it sounds like it cured your migraines how strange!

Percocet is not only nauseating, it doesn't work very well for migraines. I usually end up at the ER, get a shot in the derrierre of demerol, anti-nausea and/or toradol. Sometimes morphine, depending on the severity of the darn thing.

Thanks for your empathy--and to everyone else on the thread, sorry to go off topic!
