Not yet! If you take them for pain and ONLY for pain you're doing fine. The fact that you are "asking" bothers me a bit! But maybe you just see too many stories and are worried. Pain patients need medication - period.

Have you tried Imitrex? I have had chronic migraines for my entire life and I don't even care about them now because I take an Imitrex and it's gone! Just a thought I know you said Percocets are the only things that work.

Just ask yourself if that message up there isn't just you talking yourself out of the truth? If you need a deterent - read read read - you don't wanna be us!

Good Luck!

i'm only 16...i tried imitrex (my mom uses it for migraines and its like a miracle for her) but for me it doesn't work because i don't have migraines...i just get chronic headaches..it started when i fell off of a trampoline right onto my head..i've had fibromayalgia and chronic fatigue that is from falling off the trampoline, but the headaches are the worst part about it. percocet really is the only thing thats ever given me relief...i guess theres nothing i can do because as terrible as it sounds, i'd risk getting addicted to deal with the pain because it's so bad. i just feel guilty because i can't tell my mom i'm taking 2 at a time when 1 doesn't work because she won't let me take them..so i hafta sneak around..and i feel like if i'm sneaking around then i'm doing something wrong..but i can't tell her cause i don't want her to get all weird. eeep confusion
