I'm sorry, there may or may not have been a previous topic on this but I couldn't find it so.. back to my TOPIC:
I've just turned 16, I've been on Imitrex for about 3 years for "Severe Migraine Headaches". Otherwise, the worst pain I've felt so far. Now just over a month ago, my doctor prescribed 'Fioricet' to me. I'm about 5'1, 106 lbs. I'm a little on the smaller side, but alot of medicines don't affect me. Now remember I get really bad headaches, like every day. So with this prescription, when my doctor said take 1 at the start of a headache, 2 at the start of a SEVERE headache. I tried 2, and it didn't work. I took 3, felt a little better then 4 the next time. So every time I get a head ache I take about 3-4 tablets. I love the feeling I have after about 15 minutes. No more head ache, and I feel relaxed and more able to do things I normally couldn't do, I actually started to clean up alot more. And basically more happy.
THE PROBLEM: I started taking 3-4 tablets almost EVERY day. I got this medication on April 30th, 2003, today is June 5th. So basically, I've gone through a bottle of 100 tablets within a little over a month. Given, my mom took about 10. But still, is there a problem here? I finished off my bottle 2 days ago. And now I am severely depressed. I was kind of depressed before, although I have no reason to be; I have the best family I could've asked for, and I'm doing pretty well in school. PLUS I'm back with the BAD head aches!!
WHAT DO I DO??? :(
