Bad news.

Bad news number 1:  The only medication I've ever found that helps my migraine pain nearly every time I take it is Darvocet.  In case you haven't hear, it was recently taken off the market.  Thank you, FDA. 

Bad news number 2:  I talked to my pain management doctor about the situation, and he prescribed Vicodin.  I didn't realize until I got home that Vicodin has hydrocodone in it.  I'm allergic.  So then I asked my neurologist for something.  She gave me Thorazine, which made me so sleepy I start slurring my words after a few minutes and then sleep for fifteen hours.  Next try she gave me Talwin.  When I took it I was so dizzy I couldn't even sit up.  So, of course, I tried again.  It took over a week to get in touch with my neurologist.  I left several messages and never heard back.  When I finally did get to talk with the nurse, her message was "The doctor says there's nothing else she can do for you."  Seriously?  Thank you, neurologist.

A little good news...  My mom did a whole lot of Internet searching after they took away Darvocet and found that lots of people who took Darvocet found Ultracet to be almost as effective.  I got the super nice neurologist (whom I've canceled any further appointments with, might I add) to call me in a prescription, and it's actually worked some.  It's not Darvocet, but it's better than nothing.
