Headache's
and meth recovery
I'm not
sure if this is part of recovery? I'm into day 13 and have been
suffering bad headache's. It started with one the night before
last (I took a headache tablet and all was good) this one
started last night and hasn't gone away. Headache tab not doing
any good. Its getting worse. Has anyone else experienced this?
Is it normal? |

Re: Headache's

Here's a general answer.
Not everything that you experience in recovery is a direct
result of meth withdrawal. Many people get headaches from
various sources or reasons.
But meth is an analgesic, a pain killer. So if you were in a
place to have a headache, the meth could have been masking the
condition. Then when you quit meth the headache becomes more
apparent.
This is only one of hundreds of possibilities.
Many users do not get headaches from use, or from withdrawal. I
was one of them. |

Thank
SFj. I understand that, Ive just never suffered headache's
before (mild ones, but not like this) so thought it may be
connected. |

Re: Headache's

I
believe that I read, somewhere on this site, that one of the
addicts at this site got bad headaches too, and mixed
Tylenol(acediminiphen) and an ibuprofen(Advil,Aleeve...)
They would take one, then take the other kind of pain reliever
and it helped. I wish I could remember who that was that posted
that.

Re: Headache's

I
have read that lead poisoning can cause abnormal
headaches....low levels of lead intake over time build up in the
system and don't flush immediately. It can take weeks for it to
build up to a toxic level, no matter how slight the toxicity is.
Some meth is made with lead acetate from what I have
learned.....might be worth looking into.

OMG..
remembering the leg pains and my stomache... gawd
I WAS SO SICK...
THAT memory is what keeps me away from that stuff anymore.
NEVER again...
Stay strong, it will all pass.
It took me 6 months to feel right...
as right as possible... the rest requires one-on-one therapy.

Re: Headache's

I have had constant headaches in my 19 months
of sobriety. After seeing many doctors, the only medication that
helps is called "Bitalbutal", and it is quite effective. Until
God intervenes, I will continue to stay sober, no matter what,
headaches or no headaches. Good luck. |
