Clusster Headaches

Updated

I'm suffering from severe cluster headaches, the entire left side of my face, the side of my head from the temple back and the neck. I have propoxyphene-apap 50-325 mg tb. Will this help the pain caused by the cluster headache?

HI RICHARD,
I SYMPATHIZE W/YOU AS I HAVE ALSO SUFFERED. I CAN'T BELIEVE THATS ALL THEY GAVE YOU IS A WEAK MG. DARVON! AND WHEN DID THEY GIVE YOU THAT MEDICATION? YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE ON THAT B/C IT WAS RECALLED SOME MONTHS AGO HERE IN THE US DUE TO A LARGE NUMBER OF HEART RELATED DEATHS,SO PLEASE CHECK W/YOUR DR. ON THAT. I'VE TRIED SO MANY THINGS FOR MY H/A AND I FINALLY FOUND FIORCET W/CODEINE.ITS A COMBINATION DRUG THAT CONTAINS: ACETAMINOPHEN,BUTALBITAL(WHICH IS A BARBITURATE)AND CAFFEINE. I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY IT WORKS BUT IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS ME. I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN HOSPITALIZED W/THIS WHERE THEY GAVE ME VERY STRONG IV MEDS BUT THEY DON'T "BREAK UP" THE H/A. I WISH YOU THE BEST.......

I've had it for awhile. I originally had them prescribed for a severe bad back. I've tried two of them so far as opposed to two at a time, and it seemed to shorten the duration and lesson the severity of the pain, but I think I'll give using them any more. I haven't gotten these headaches in a long time, and I hope when they stop they'll disappear for a long time again. I have to go in for hernia surgery next week and I hope they stop by then. Thank's for the concern. Rich

I am glad you decided not to use them.

The information posted was correct, the Propoxyphene was found to cause adverse effects to the heart, which is why it was pulled from the market.

There are more details here:

Are there any questions or comments?
