Pain killers like Codiene are good pain managers when it comes to just having a tooth pulled or a torn ligament. They DO NOT work on Cluster headaches! Period! What's more, they cause rebound headaches. In other words they make them worse in the long run. Like others have just said. Get yourself a doctor who isn't too busy to actually look up in his books what works for Cluster headaches and what doesn't. It's just too easy to prescribe pain killers. Save your money and your sanity and get him to prescribe something that will work, even if you have to go through several before you find the right one. Good luck to you, Linda
