Hey Edie..I so wish I could tell you something that worked for the headaches. I'm just like you,nothing comes close to stopping them. I say that, but I think I'm just using that as another reason to use them. I think we have to just say that as long as its not EXCRUTIATING...then we just have to learn to take something not on the lines of hydro since we are taking the hydro for the "other" effects and not what it is intended to be used for and that's getting us out of pain. I use it because I get things done. If I have something ahead of me I have to use to get it done. That was the way it used to be, now ofcourse, I use simply to keep from being horribly sick. But that's not even something that I can't get thru, Im just being rediculously ignorant. It's not going to kill me to go thru the damn withdrawals, we ALL know that. But....Im just too damn stupid I guess, No other explanation. But you, you're on a small dose Edie, please, for your kids and your own well being find something else to help with your headaches, please don't let these pills run you off in the ditch too, I don't want any company down here in the gutter..folks, I just want out myself. If I can shove you back on the straight and narrow that's the least I can do at this point, when I so obviously cant get MYSLEF out. I guess you have tried all the imitrex and maxalts(sp) out there, huh? I do know that you sound strong enough and focused to stop....dont do it too much at a time though, If I were you, I'd taper very very slowly, so you don't get disgusted. But, if Im not mistaken you will feel slightly uncomfortable if you taper right...you wont get that buzz that we all like and you will have to push yourself along. I know you can do it! Let us know how its going, you kind of dropped off there for awhile....keep posting! Ally
