Suggestions on what pain meds work for people that do not cause vomitting
Hello
I was wondering what pain meds work for people here for head pain that do not cause nausea-
I may have a baby tummy but after my angio/embolism procedure out of the hospital I can not seem to take Tylenol Codeine or Percocet without severe nausea
Thank you
Angela

Hi. My son gets headaches that make him throw up too. We use Tylenol, Tylenol w/coding, Lortab( all different strengths), Percoset(all different strengths), &I morphine. Lortab 5 works the best for him without him throwing up. We also have the anti-nausea med that dissolves on your tongue. I will say that nobody with an AVM should use any over the counter med that has ibuprofen in it though. It acts as a blood thinner which would be disastrous if you had something more serious going on.on especially if you have to take mess daily for headaches. Our neurosurgeon, pediatrician, Neurologist, and hematologist told us that.

Hello Erin Lyn
Thank you for letting me know about the ibuprofen. I just started taking tumeric tablets that are supposed to help with memory, inflammation and blood pressure. But I guess I better talk to my doctor. It was so strange I was able to take the Tylenol with codeine last year but even since my angio/embolism I can not no matter how much I eat before I take it. Then the doctors gave me Percocet and the same reaction. Tonight I took half a tramadol but its not doing anything. Tomorrow I will try a whole one. I did get the anti nausea drug that dissolves on your tongue and they increased the dosage. I cant take morphine and that has been forever, My mom and sister are the same for that drug. I will ask about Lortab 5 if this tramadol does not work.
Thank you again for your suggestions. Maybe with our head issues we just get sick to our stomachs.
Thank you
Angela

I like tramadol ER for my pain management. I use the ER type. It has a low adiction rate.
Just FYI/ good short reading
