I Suffer From Chronic Migraines

I woke up with a headache about 2 hours ago. I couldn't decide which medicine to take. One has tons of caffeine so I can't sleep when I take it. The other is percoset and I can't function when I take it at all. The doctor prefers I take the other, and then I end up like this awake in the middle of the night with no hope of sleeping and still having a headache.

@SW-User I'm gonna have to end up taking both.

@CallmeHopelessNotRomantic yeah, triptan plus wheelbarrows of codeine is the best combo I've found so far

@SW-User they won't let me take any triptans. I so miss those lol

@SW-User I know! But I can't find a doctor willing to let me have any. I had an aneurysm that ruptured and taking these could cause sudden death. There are times where I'm like, I'll take my chances just make it stop hurting 😂

@CallmeHopelessNotRomantic ikr it's like you'll do literally anything to make it stop but yeah maybe not worth it for an aneurysm ☹
