Alright, so for about over two years I've been having HORRENDOUS headaches. Like on a pain scale of 1-10, they get up to like 7-8 sometimes (at least once a week). So anyways, I've gone through all the tests and shit, put on tons of different meds (tegretol, nefedipine, bupropion (that actually helped), etc.) and finally my new doc hooked me up with some other meds. The first prescription he gave me was for Cyphroheptadine (Periactin) every day, but then he also gave me a small script for Tylenol with Codeine.

Now here's my question, what would be a reasonable amount of times to take them? As in, like, not having a headache, but just want one to save for later. I'm supposed to take 1, but my doc also said that I might have to take 2 for when my headaches get really bad. I realize that codeine's one of the shittier opiates, but it's available and free so fuck.

He also gave me the Periactin as a preventive for the headaches and I don't think there is, but does anyone know if you can use that recreationally? Doubt you can because it's just an anti-histamine (it's related to benadryl) but whatever. Sorry if this post is a little unclear, I'm just a little fucked up right now.

If you seriously have migraines and aren't just shooting for opes, try Maltox; worked for me when I had migraines.

Know what else worked for my migraines? 400 mg Actiq, which some ignorant E.R. doctor gave me in Utah at the tender age of 17.

Seriously though, if it's migraines, try Maltox. If its legitimate cluster headaches...try Johnnie Walker.

Nah, I don't think I have migraines, and my doctor's just trying out different meds to see which one will work, along with therapy or whatever.

But my question was more of, I HAVE a prescription for Tylenol with Codeine, but I thought that, even though codeine's not that good, every once in a while say I have a headache and get one of those codeine's and stash it. So therefore, I was wondering, what seems like a reasonable amount of times to be needing it? Two times a week? Three? I realize it's really more dependent on when I really do get 'em, but was just wondering. My question's kind of retarded though so whatever, I got it figured it out anyways.

That's pretty fucked up...can't help but wish I had that doctor though.

Well to be fair I actually told her I had taken it in the past and for whatever reason she didn't seem to question it at all. Horrible doctor, even though she only gave me 2 of them. I guess the fact that I was currently taking 4 mg of Klonopin and 30 mg Valium a day didn't matter to her much. No, I'm really not lying, either.

Not that 400 mcg Actiq is jack shit anyways...sucked that shit down during a game of chess and it was pretty lackluster to say the least.
