Absolutely! I get them too! I call them my Icepick headaches. I think there is a thread about others who get them. I have to stop what im doing, close my eyes, and just pray they go away quickly. Very deblitating when they come on. I had at least 3 or 4 last night at work (im an ICU nurse), they are worse when i get stressed or worried about my patient decompensating. of course they come on at home too and sometimes im not doing anything. But i do notice they are worse with any stress. I take fiorinal for my breakthrough headaches and it has a small dose of a muscle relaxer for the vessels in your brain to relax them, also has aspirin and a lil bit of caffeine. I swear by it. Im also on an antidepressant offlabel for migraine use- nortryptilne 50mg a day. Good luck!!!
