Do they prescribe Vicodin for migraines?

[BigBlock]

I get migraines alot, but 95% of the time Excedrin is enough to get rid of them...but my doctor doesn't need to know that. I do need to get a prescription for something stronger for the 5% of the time when excedrin doesn't work. Do doctors prescribe vicodin for migraines? Is there anything I can tell the doc to get that instead of something not nearly as fun? Is it inappropriate to just ask for vicodin?

they dont usually perscribe painkillers for migraines man. sorry pal. theyll perscribe a migraine medication. tell your doctor your back hurts and you dont know why, tell him it keeps you up at night cause theres a pain in your spine that dosnt go away when you change positions or law on your back. haha it worked once for me. try it. but for the migraines... doubt it.

Migraine medicines are painkillers.

Just keep in mind that vicodin is an opiate painkiller and very addictive. or more importantly, it's very addictive with withdrawl that's a BITCH to get past.

You're the idiot. As I said above, YES, they do prescribe painkillers for migraines. Migraines are a pain, thus, things that make them stop are pain-killers. Just because they have a few drugs specific to migraines doesn't mean that's the only thing they use. The question is do they specifically prescribe Vicodin, or other painkillers instead, and is there anything special I can do to get it. Whether or not they prescribe painkillers at all is NOT the question.
