For me any narcotics could trigger CHs and they don't work as an abortive. [smiley=twocents.gif]

well the furinal and i'm not spelling that right is a sedative of sort and the codine just made me happy i guess cause if i remeber corectly i took it more when i didnt have a ha,i havnt bothered with pain medication for years,partly because i use to think they made me sick to my stomach.then i realized i just do get sick if the pain is to bad so whats the point if i couldnt hold it down long enough to help.

You really need to get to a good nero to prescribe you a preventative.And also a scrip for either o2 or Imitrex or both they very effective abortive s .Good luck to you in finding that.

Are you talking about Fiorinal?? It is a Migraine/tension headacha med and still has codiene. Butalbital is in it and it is a class of drugs called barbiturates. I take it it has helped with heavey shadows. Though I take it without the Narcotic.
