Title: Anyone have this same issue with Trex 4mg?
Post by HeadhurtinMama on Aug 16^th, 2007, 10:04pm

I've been having shadows for about 2 months now, after finally breaking free from being chronic and having 6 wonderful month PF. Well Saturday, I was home alone with both kids and got slammed with a kip 9. I grabbed the trex from my purse and had my oldest give me a shot. This was my first time using the 4mg dose, but it was kind of weird. I didn't get the creeping under my skin feeling, or the kick in the chest feeling, but it also didn't kick the headache down past a kip 5. Any time I have used the 6 mg dose, it pretty much kills the headache. Looks like I'll keep both boxes around to use depending on the severity of the headache.

And yes, I am horribly afraid of needles and have never been able to give myself a shot. I feel like shit that my 4 year old had to do it, but it beat the heck out of the mess I was before the shot!

We're all different. For me, 3mg is fine, 2mg and I get the effects you mentioned. I save my 4mg injections for travel as I love them. I think you just have to find what you need. I also learned that if I do not take enough, I will have shadows the next day.

Don't feel bad about your little un giving you a shot. I can't bring myself to do it either and have to rely on my partner. luckily so far he's been around when I need him, but I'm sure the day will come when my oldest will have to do the honours!
