You are a migraine sufferer who is in withdrawal? Or you're in withdrawal and you have a headache you think is a migraine?
I would suggest a triptan, but I don't know what your blood pressure is like...if you are only in mild withdrawal and you have taken your blood pressure and it's not high, go take Imitrex or a similar triptan.
If you can't or won't take your blood pressure, there are two things I would do. First is take a nausea med like Phenergan, Tigan, or Compazine. Maybe Atarax/Vistaril if you have it. You could take a high dose of Aleve- I think I read in another post of yours that you have Fioricet w/ codeine but it's not working?
If you aren't certain this is a migraine, try getting some glucose tablets or the glucose gel. I don't know what your eating schedule is like during withdrawal, but I know I can barely touch food- I can feel my blood sugar being low- food is of course the best thing, but if you can't stand the sight of it, have some glucose. Better than nothing.
What you are describing is why I do my absolute best to avoid cold turkey, even if it means taking a dose that will give me no pain relief- as long as I won't be CT'ing, I am ok. It took me a lot of CT withdrawals to learn I had to taper- I just cannot CT and be successful, I know I will relapse. A taper gradually weans you off of it physically and psychologically, leaving you plenty of time to develop new coping skills.
Good luck, I've been there- I wish you the best.
