Headache Remedies

Tue, 06/16/2015 - 20:27

Hi everyone,

I had my epilepsy surgery four years ago.  Since then, I have been having powerful headache 24/7 to this day.  I have tried both prescription and over-the-counter pain killers, but nothing seems to work.

I am thinking about medical marijuana.  Have you had any experience?  If so, how effective (or not) is it?

Thank you.

I've never tried medical

I've never tried medical marijuana, it's not legal in my state but people I know do smoke to relieve headache pain and migraine pain. My primary doctor prescribed me a high dose of Vicodin for my head pain and body pain and if I absolutely need it, two of mine cure my pain for atleast a few hours. Talk to your doctor and see what they can do for you.
