Pills don't work?

[Kelculator]

Starting from childhood i have had these pounding headaches that come in the afternoon and stays until the next morning . They would gradually build up and give me more and more pain .I'm not sure if they were migraines, but my doctor believed they were, and gave me painkillers to deal with it . I still have them every few weeks now ,and normally the pills take care of them. But recently when i had these headaches ,the pills don't work for the first dose ,but only after the second one, which i take after four hours(the time required to take another dose ). This is strange ,and im worried my headaches have gotten worse or that these pills no longer work .

It sounds like the pills just take a bit of time to work and the dosage is just slightly out. Ask your doctor for a slightly higher dosage. Headaches are a symptom of anxiety as well.

I see. I also found resting a bit and staying stationery after taking the pills helps ease the pain more. Thanks for the advice!

I know how you feel I take depakote and they dont work but you cannot tell these doctors anything they still tell me to take them even though they know they dont work,how dumb can you get>No with me sometimes it just take awhile for you meds to work I know it can be very frustrating and annoying when you expect something to work and it doesnt.

My mum gets migraines and there can be many reasons for getting them. Including the food that she may eat. Do you eat chocolate or cheese?

I do, but they don't seem to be triggers.

I'm sorry that happens to you too! Thanks for understanding that

My mum said that it is something before you eat the chocolate. Some people don't realise they've got a migraine and then eat chocolate. But, apparently it's not the chocolate and people think that it was when the migrane was actually brewing beforehand. She said that a migraine can take a couple of days to appear.

Try to figure out what is causing them! Maybe dairy, sugar, Hormones? Easier said then done but it could be a food that is triggering them. Mine were from hormomes.

Oh that's interesting. I'll try and see if there's a pattern there. Maybe I will track that with an app or something.

Well I think hormones contribute to mine as well, since I tend to easily get them when I'm on my period, and on somedays when my bloody pressure is a but higher. I'll try to figure it out!
