Title: That kicked my ass
Post by giffy76 on May 18^th, 2005, 6:44am

During mondays chat "why not vicodin" You all hit the ice pick smack dab in the temple. It started off as 9kip for about 1hr then dropped to a 6 for the next 3.5hr. Tues. went to see the Doc. He upped my dose of Depekote to 1000mg daily and gave me Imitrex injections, I haven't had to use one yet thank God. Thanks to everyone for the insight, you guys are great.

You might consider trying something other than Depakote, it doesn't have a great track record here.
Good luck, bro
