maybe I am not taking enough...

when they wear off or if you take too many...and i was told it's the acetaminophen or ibuprofen they contain that give you the headache

I personally have a problem with medicine that say they will solve headaches, back pain and any pain in your body so if I only take it for my headaches it will surely also affect everything else in my body.

I do not think they have invented a pill that will only treat where you hurt and not the rest of you that the pill says it can treat.

I only take it like it is prescribed..and not as often as I can...I have a lot of problems with my back...and just had surgery on my hand but these headaches are about to get the better of me...

call your dr tomorrow...mine switched me from lortab to percocet and i don't have the headaches anymore...feel better soon

thank you I will...have a great day...

ty...that's my plan...

I asked a question like that of my doctor. I was concerned about getting a headache after taking pain med for a toothache. My doctor took me off of it and told me to mark tha medicine down as being allergic to it.

I did more research on it and found that particular medication was mainly a high dosage of acetaminophen or ibuprofen cant remember now but anyhow the headache was a symptom of overdose.

I also had a friend that died a few years ago when she was on pain meds the night she died she was complaining to me of terrible headaches. Her cause of death was overdose.

wow...but I only take two a day of these things...could I be overdosing at two a day?

I would suggest that you call your doctor and let him know so they can give you a different kind of pain killers. At times some medicines have different effects on different people but pain killers are to help with the pain not create it in a different area. Your tolerance to that certain medicine may not be good. Myself Codeine makes me itch and have the strangest and most vivid dreams too weird therefore the doctor gives me something similar that does not have those effects when it is needed but in fact does do what is intended.

if you over indulge w/anything you will have unexpected side effects

i have been using pain meds regularly for nearly 10 years

and yes they can give you head aches

not knowing what med you are taking kinda inhibits an accurate answer

my suggestion is to stop taking them for 48 hours then go back to taking them at half the prescription

yes it will hurt but hey ya gotta do what ya gotta do

i hope you are not becoming dependent on them (which doubt if not taking full doses) and maybe the head aches are more related to the pain than the meds

and as has been suggested consult you health care professional

When you are prescribed medications, a sheet comes with them that tells what the meds are used to treat and all of the side effects.

I would suggest that you read the sheet.
Or you can look it up online.

Another side effect of many pain killers is also constipation.

I can be a pain, so I am afraid to take pain killers!!!

The percocet are alot stronger than the lortabs, be careful.

percocet are the same as oxycotin with an over the counter pain reliever added to it

i was given percocet for several months and it was not very effective but yes i did get headaches more often

hope your issues are subsiding

may much good come to you and yours

they make my stomach sick.

if eat first then if you coat your stomach with something it would help w/the nausea (or smoke a doob)

the coating and eating does prolong the time it takes to work tho

nah that doesnt work for me, they make me woozy i dont like it, and weed makes me sicker.

There is a phenomenon known as "rebound" headaches too where after you have taken painkillers (even aspirin or Tylenol) for awhile and then you stop, your body will rebound with headaches due to you stopping the medication. I am sure you can google this and read up on it. Any med can give you a headache if it doesn't agree with your system, but you need to contact your doctor and ask their advice.

i hear ya

they do case ya to get tired and yep weed does increase that effect

well lets just hope you never have a need to use them

that would be a great thing

yep
