Migraines - Oxycodone or Butalbital?!
Question: Migraines - Oxycodone or Butalbital!?
I'm hoping someone will read this who has used both of these medications to treat a migraine!.
I have butalbital (a barbiturate) that was prescribed to me for my migraines!. I also have some oxycodone/percocet leftover from a recent surgery!. I can feel a migraine coming on and I'm about to leave work and go home so I can take one of these medications before it gets too bad!.
My butalbital works well on my migraines but it makes me pretty sleepy, though!. I thought about taking the oxycodone instead because it doesn't make me sleepy and I'd like to stay up late enough to see my boyfriend before he leaves town tomorrow!. But I don't know how well oxycodone works for migraines!? Does anyone have any experience to tell me!? I can't take both at once, so I have to choose one and stick with it, which is why I'm asking for advice here!
Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to answer!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I actually take both at the same time!.When I go to the ER for migraines that won't quit they give me Dilaudid (opiate pain med) and a script for Oxycodone and Butalbital!.They never told me I couldn't take both!.If I had to pick one I would take the Butalbital!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Perhaps you should take neither of them as prescription medication usually or often has side effects!.
