That's what I think as well. I just didn't know if others had experience with it. I was a Pharmacy Tech for a number of years, so I know the dangers of narcotics and am extremely careful with how often I take it. My main concern is why I get the migraines. I was 17 when I was thrown from a snowmobile at 50mph. Even though it's been 14 years, I still get severe migraines and back/neck pain from the damage.
'cets are evil. If they help your migraines, accept that you might use them for the rest of your life. There's no cure for migraines and science doesn't know what causes them. If they're getting you a buzz, and you take them for a buzz, then watch out.
Also, drink a glass of prune juice every day or take stoll softeners. Percs *will* cause constipation.
Just tellin' you like it is.
I have the same problem, I have had chronic migraines before pregnancy and they have gotten worse with this pregnancy. Just talk to your doc, I am sure there is something they can give you. I used to take percocets for my mine and they did tell me it was safe to continue taking them up until my third trimester.
I'm 13 weeks and 6 days. I have history of serve migraines. I haven't got them as much over the last yr just here and there BUT since I've become pregnant I've experiencing them a lot. Sometimes I'm able to control them and other days the pain in unbearable. I started to feel one coming on last night so I took Tylenol, a hot shower, a warm cloth to back of my neck, and laid on heating pad. I woke up at 5 am crying my eyes out, throwing up, dizzy, and in so much pain.
By the way. Percocet , and Vicodin are both a category C. "It is not known whether Percocet is harmful to an unborn baby, but it could cause breathing problems or addiction/withdrawal symptoms in a newborn. "
Remember it's important to talk to your doctor if about the medications you're on.
Good luck.
If u take then as prescribed and your dr. knows I wouldn't worry I am taking lortab for my migraines and it is ok. I also worry about my baby being dependant and think I am going to try to stop a few months before delivery just to make sure but I wouldn't suffer in the meantime. Your dr may adjust your meds.
I have previously been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a fractured spine, curvature reversal, buldging disks, pinched nerves, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, migraines, and high uric acid. They originally prescribed me percocet 7.5mg limit 6 a day, nuerontin 600mg tid, and esgic plus 50-500-40mg however my insurance stopped covering the percocet 7.5mg and so they had to prescribe me the 5/325!

My 12 year old daughter was diagnosed with migraines in Sept. She has had an MRI, CT and EEG, all neg. Most of the time they present with a feeling of dizziness, or wavy lines, also a numb knee, occasionally with the severe pain. Since the middle of March till now, she has only been in school for 8 days due to these. When they start, they stay for 3-4 days. She is on 25 mg. Topamax in the AM and 50 at night.
The doc took her off of the indocin and started phenergan and vicodin as needed, which is pretty much every day. For those people who may have been thinking that these headaches are her way of getting out of school, she woke up at 8 am on Friday, the first day of their spring break, and said "Mom, I knew before I even opened my eyes that I had a migraine. What else can we do?"
Will keep you updated. Thanks for your concern.
Tylenol is as safe as it gets.....i took Benadryl drowsy and it put me to sleep and i woke up feeling great! benadryl is safe too!
I was since prescribed Fioricet which I had taken in the past with no luck, had an emergency trip back to the office for a shot of Toradol, also with no success, and now a prescription of Percocet which is also not helping. The only other option that was offered to me is a steroid infusion at the outpatient center at one of the hospitals.
I am at wit's end. Can anyone offer me any suggestions as a treatment or perhaps a doctor in the New York City area?
I too had a monster addiction to percocet,,what you are experiencing is the normal withdrawal side effects coming off them,,symptoms can begin within 12 hours from your last dose and consists of restless legs,,crawling outta skin feeling,,sweating,,diarrhea,,shaky feeling,,depression,,emotional outbursts from anger to crying all of a sudden and nausea/vomiting,,stomach pains,,and flu like symptoms,,stuffy head,,sneezing and runny nose.
