Today, I found out that the medicine I've been taking for my headaches is responsible for my headaches getting even worse. FML

desbuhbear tells us more.

Hey guys! Op, here. I didn't think this would get published! Thanks for all your comments. They made me feel better and definitely made me laugh! Just to follow up a bit, I'm no longer taking that medication and I have a neurologist appointment soon to see if they can help me with the pain! Thanks again!

I'm curious to know how you found out. It hit you in the head?

Yeah... You would think that your doctor would have prescribed you something that wouldn't give you headaches as a side effect.

My thought exactly. You get a medication that treats something, say depression, and one of the side effects is depression

All Meds have side effects. No way to know what will cause which reaction in different people. And, YES, doctors prescribe them. Usually, side effects are rare, but you never know. Haven't you ever read the fine print?

Sometimes the treatment makes the problem worse. Some anti depressants can lead to suicidal thoughts/actions.

Hopefully your doctor will be able to switch you to a better medication. Otherwise, it's definitely time for a better doctor.

Maybe he misunderstood you when you asked for "headache medicine".

I know exactly how you feel OP, I'm in the same place. I've been having migraines for over 3 years now.

Was that listed as one of the side effects that the spokespeople always talk about really quickly so you can barely understand them? FYL.

Yea my other comment was meant for another fml. go ahead and burry it in thumb downs
