My OB prescribed me percocet for migraines

[cheey]

I have severe migraines & nothing has seemed to help. I was wondering if anyone else has heard of percocets helping with migraines & what the side effects would be towards the baby?  Also if anyone has heard anything else that would help that is not so heavy medicated.

I am a pharmacy tech and  dont take unless u have too then i would take half but idk why they would give u that since ur pregnant and its a Narc its not suppose to be for u they would give u tylenol or maybe somthing similar to it  specially cause its a heavy and dangerous drug :/

My doc has me take half a phenergan and 2 tylenol. It puts me to sleep until my migraine goes away.

I can't imagine what ob/gyn would prescribe a narcotic to a pregnant woman. I definitely agree. Try a bit of caffeine with tylenol if you're uncomfortable with percent (which I wouldn't blame you). It's safer and works well.

I take the Tylenol with caffeine because my doctor TOLD ME to do it.....believe me its perfectly safe unless you wanna walk around with migraines all day

Percocet isn't a 'migraine' medcine its a narcotic pain reliever.

Im prwtty sure if YOUR DOCTOR says you can dink caffinated stuff for your migraines then its ok . I can take tylenol tho because of my liver so she told me to try the caffeine thing

Most migraine medicine has caffiene in it so do not take you meds and then drink a caffeinated drink..get online if your not sure your meds have caffeine in them and google the medication name it will tell you what's in it ....and I've never heard of a migraine medicine being prescribed for a bladder infection...that's odd

[Melsbby13]

Yea i take Tylenol extra strength with a can of coke it does the trick usually. The caffeine is really what helps the migraines

[MomnaBree97]

Oddly enough my doctor tols me to drink coffee or a soda anything with caffiene because I get sever migraines too. But to the point where I cant do anyyhing and I ge lt light headed and wanna puke . She says caffeine is in pain medication so I should try the coffee or soda and see if it works

Awe thsts awesome. They said it was from the medicine or infection?

[Savanah94]

Yes. They told me she would never walk or talk.  I now have a 3 year old who never sits down and never shuts up lol!  She's my little miracle baby :)

[stcrosby11]

Omgosh savanah94 is she ok?

[Savanah94]

My first pregnancy I had a severe bladder infection,  they gave me percocets it caused my daughter to have a brain bleed. This pregnancy I refuse any pain pills if I have anything that causes me to be in pain.

I was taking fiorecet but you can only take meds like that till 28 weeks ...when you pick up your script ask the pharmacist to give you the run down on all the side effects and possible effects on the baby
