as if im not in enough pain i decided to drop my last codeine tonight on day 2 of my period, the symptoms are vile, been on 8 a day for pain relief for many years (it should of been tapered years ago) neurologist was so annoyed with my gp! it can worsen migraines you see. anyway i used to be fine on 8 a day until peri, codeine increases histamine so all the time ive been asking myself have i always been like this i need to think straight (easier said than done) sorry for the rant and if this makes no sense im not feeling great x

    Oh, Toria, I am so sorry!!!

    the peri-migraine-medication-rebound cycle is the absolute put of hell, and no mistake.

    Is the neurologist able to offer anything to help the withdrawal??

    Praying for you, dear.
