None of us want to be on any meds as far as that goes. I can't take percocet so my choices are a little more limited. If you skip , eds you can have some really nasty side effects, like really bad withdrawal, torn up stomach, really bad flares, and a lot more. I got a really bad migraine that lasted a week. I mean hide in the closet with light out and sound proof earmuffs and no help. Take the meds as prescribed they are to help some with this disorder. Your Dr wouldn't have you on them if they didn't think they would help.
