Opiate Withdrawal or Detox Headaches?

[Reggietsfree]

Hey Guys,

Hope everyone is well and Merry Christmas to all!
Here is my problem, Crazy car accident 14 yrs ago, a couple Pain Mgmt Clinics prescribed 5mg -10mg Norco.
For the longest time the Norco did everything, then they started cutting my scripts to smaller quantity, I then resorted to purchasing them from a Military buddy who has 10X the pain I have.
I buy some Norco and 15mg Oxycodone from him only.

The last 3-4 months I have developed a rather mild headache in-between dosages. Not excruciating---just a pestersome type headache.
In addition to my pain med(normally 20mg norco, I am having to use either 800 mg Ibuprophen or a 1000mg Tylenol Rapid Release to get the headaches to cease!
I never mix the norco and oxys.

What can I do to get rid of these freaking headaches? If its time to kick---I am okay with it!
I just don't desire to live like this.
My normal dosage is 60 mg norco per day or 30 mg oxys...both accompanied by 2000mg Tylenol Extra Strength in increments of 500mg or 1200 mg Ibuprofen via 600mg increments.

I really would appreciate some positive feedback.

Thanks,

Reg

my take and personal expierince is that headaches are not a symptom of opioid withdrawal. Maybe look for nsai for temporary treatment.. but consider looking into the cause of the pain.

I understand your take.
Most it falls under rebound effect.
I will do whatever I need to ferret it out.
I never have had headaches even in my wildest days of youth…

I appreciate your feedback

I’m currently in suboxone wd right now with a splitting headache. When I taper down my subs I can feel my pupils expanding and retracting in very sensitive to light and eyes get runny. And I get a headache.
