I am Carolyn and have had chronic daily headache for many years. I have had good luck with norgesic forte. It has caffiene in it so you can't take it too often because it might cause rebound but it helps me if the headache isn't too bad. I took Topamax for a short while and it caused the tingling in hands and feet and I had to stop it. I take Zoloft daily and use Maxalt for bad headaches.

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). I'll be much more
cautious from now on. I'll let everyone know how my progress is doing
in a few days. Take care.
