I personally tent to really suffer from
the medications side effects terribly. Topamax worked well for me but having
numb hand and feet became unbearable and my sense of smell (for bad things,
like dirt) became very acute. The side effect became worse then the constant
headache so I gave up on topamax. I have heard that other people have been
having great success with it, though. I am not familiar with norgesic. What is
it? Do you know how it works and what it works on? I go back to my neurologist
in a couple weeks. I am about ready to demand pain killers because living like
this sucks!

[chronicdailyheadache] New Medications
I went to the doctor today and got new medications. He
prescribed
topamax and norgesic, both to be taken bid (twice daily). I have no
experience with either drug, but I'm hopeful they will help. I also
talked to him about my experience with stadol and he said it was
dysphoria and not an allergic reaction. He also said if I ever use the
medication again to limit it to 1 spray. Apparently, medication that is
sprayed up the nose is absorbed into the blood stream much faster than
medication that is injected im (intra-muscular)
cautious from now on. I'll let everyone know how my progress is doing
in a few days. Take care.
