Nasty side effect of pain killers are their ability to cause addiction. But I'd gamble most of us clusterheads treat/respect the pain drugs for their action to calm us and not make us suicidal. Studies show people using drugs for PHYSICAL pain don't appear to get addicted. It's those that use the drugs for EMOTIONAL pain that may get into trouble. All I know is I've been on everything over the years from vicodin to Tylenol #4 to demerol and I'm glad they're their when I need them. But this round I haven't had to take any because of the enormouspositive response I 'm getting from Imitrex and oxygen therapy.
