Hey all! ?
Firstly: I just wanted to say that I miss you all! Glad to see everyone is still here!
Bluelight for Life! ?????
Secondly: Back in November of 2016 (9 months ago) I was in a fairly awful fender bender where my head hit the steering wheel (airbags didn't deploy because, of course, lucky me; I had a recall edition Honda Fit ?) and the blow to the head certainly knocked me out cold.
Anyways; I started developing very intense migraines days & weeks after the crash which kept continuing for months where it got to the point where I couldn't take it anymore...
(blah blah blah — get to your damn point bro)
**************************************************
I was prescribed –––> Fioricet <–––
(Butalbital/Acetaminophen/Caffeine: 50mg/325mg/40mg).
And yes, that's correct! There's NO Codeine in there! Mainly because I'm allergic. Lol

??Basically what I'm getting at is THIS?
Are there any other better Barbiturates other than Fioricet/ Fiorinal that are stronger, even if they make you drowsy? I don't care. As long as it works.
A Prescription that can be switched to... You know what I mean? I just feel like the Fioricet isn't working as much, maybe because of Tolerance BUT I do know there must me SOMETHJNG else out there. I just need some ideas is all. Thank you!
{[{[Side Note: No suggestions for opiates please.]}]}?????????????????

...Prescriptions I have tried for Migraines that failed miserably...
I've literally tried the ENTIRE Family of Triptans!
Imitrex (sumatriptan)
Maxalt (rizatriptan)
Amerge(naratriptan)
Frova (frovatriptan)
Zomig (zolmitriptan)
& even RELPAX (eletriptan)!
Noooooope. No Thank you.
Then I tried Topmax (Topiramate) which gave me rebound headaches. I even started out on the lowest dose of 25mg & worked my way up as instructed, but it just did not cooperate with my brain. It also makes me act and feel like coming down off a crack high or something strangely similar... ? ?
Afterwards, I tried Inderal LA (Propanol Long-Acting 60mg) which is actually mainly used for High Blood Pressure, which I DO HAVE, but I was taking Atenolol 50mg twice daily for that... can't be on both obviously. Don't want my CNS to just say to me "Bye Felicia!". You know?
Finally & last but not least; I tried Elavil (Amitryptaline); started out on 25mg. Then got bumped to 50mg. I don't know much about TCAs, but here's the strangest reason of why I didn't like it... because when I was taking the Elavil at night before bedtime, it would knock me out quickly & I'd sleep like a baby! I hadn't experienced that since I was 12 years old. Sixteen years ago! It was an amazing feeling to be able to sleep throughout the night without waking up once or being restless. The only issue was; all of the sudden my Klonopin was no longer working OR its potency had DRASTICALLY DECREASED! Which was INSANE to me. It made zero sense to me whatsoever. Can TCAs mess with potency & efficacy of Benzodiazepines?
Good gød I hope not. I really hope that was just a weird coincidence.
(and obviously I've tried all of the over the counter crap to zero relief)

If you'd please let me know what you think, if anything whatsoever, then please feel free to hit me up. It's much appreciated and exceedingly grateful!
I'd certainly ?LOVE? to not go through these insane, intense, sight-blinding, ear-drum bursting, neck breaking, blood boiling & extremely irritating gøddamn Migraines ever again; or at least get SOME kind of better relief!
Thank you!
