Shellie,
I've been there before,you get down
to taking the last one pill a day dose and the
headaches come back. It's time to call and ask
for a refll on the 10 dosage and hope that by the
next time the dosage gets down to one pill a day
that the cycle will be over, at least your pain
free a majority of the time. If you ever take
a 10 dosage and they don't offer any relieve
don't bother taking another 10 day dosge or
stay on a high dosage if its not working,taper
off the dosage like your supposed to but call
the doctor right away to tell him they aren't
working.But if they go away when you start the high dosage than it is working. They can be dangerous, search on the net for side effects,
but I would always give them a try rather than
suffer.
