Default Which Meds Are Best For PCS Headaches?

Hey Everybody,

What meds have helped you get rid of debilitating and constant headaches from PCS?

Fistfuls of ibuprofen or tylenol don't even phase it.

My neuro prescribed Lexapro and Tramadol (because I told him I didnt want to take Hydrocodone). I did not fill the Lexapro and told him I refuse to ever take SSRI's again.

The tramadol I took 3 years ago after a serious back injury and it worked well. But this time, it made me feel anxious and nervous. had heart palps and couldn't sleep.

My wife had some Percocet 5/325 from a surgery. I normally hate the way these opiates make me feel but for the headache pain, they have worked the best so far, although I can tell already I am developing a tolerance after only 2 weeks on them.

After originally suggesting Hydrocodone and me refusing it, Doc now refuses to give me percocet and prescribed Indomethacin. Ive never heard of it but looked it up today and saw many folks say it works well, others say it has deadly side effects and is very risky. Yikes.

Anyone have any experience with Indomethacin?

and the bigger question is:

What has worked for you?

Thanks MM
