Opiate Headaches

[nleksan]

This correlates somewhat with the recent thread I started about the "Fentanyl" powder. It seems that since using this, it has given me headaches, both at the front my of head (forehead are) and at the back of my head (right around where my head and neck meet).

Is this common? I've not experienced it before, as best I can remember. Is there any particular opiate that this is associated with?

fent gives me a headache too....the patch is a sure fire way for me to build up to a screaming mimi of a headache...everytime I try it

Oxycodone has given me mild headaches when I've taken very large doses before. I have no idea what goes on in the body to cause this though.

When you use opiates on a regular basis, you get what are called "rebound" headaches.


I think this is what ya'll mean by that...

Anyways, that's always been a common thing with opiate based medications.

People commonly get rebound headaches.



Peace,

I've rarely gotten headaches from opiates, but a lot of people I chill with tell me that they sometimes do it for them. Then again, I don't really use opiates on a everyday-basis, even though I would like to.

I get them form larger doses of vic (100mg) and about 80mg of Oxycodone. Super bad, the next day. My sinuses all the way to the occipital portion of my skull. Like agony. I find that adderall or caffeine really helps. I thinks its just like Hana was saying, rebound. The vasodilation that occured the night before is gone and you've got a shit load of blood squirting around your brain. Like, serious increase in intercranial presure. My head hurt so bad this morning I couldn't even shit becuase the pain was EXCRUCIATING when I tried to push a little loaf out. I serioulsy thought I was gonna have a fucking aneurysm.
