I've been a full-time dad for 18 months or so, but we just had a second kid, he's 6 weeks old. I get these vicious headaches virtually every single day from the stress of taking care of 2 young kids. Herb alone is not a strong enough analgesic. I've gone to my Dr. before and asked about my headaches at a regular physical. He gave me vicodin once, which created its own headache and made me nauseated. He gave me migraine pill samples, which did nothing.

I really don't want to come across to anyone as a pill-fiend. But I've tried to exercise the headaches away, sleep them off (where allowed). I have a healthy tea that used to get rid of milder headaches but not these ones. I don't like the idea of going back to the dr. and pushing for stronger pills, but this is getting to be a big obstacle in my daily life. Does anyone have any comments?
