For those of you who don't know(I'm assuming everyone) I have been suffering from severe migraines for the past 3 and a half years. I have been to many doctors and they have all prescribed me many different medications which would never work. I haven't taken any Migraine medication in over a month now and they have been continuing to get worse and worse until yesterday.
About 2 days ago I had a really bad episode and I was confined to my bed for over a day. I had to miss 2 days of work because of it, I was in such severe pain I could barely move or leave my room except to throw up. Last night my mom came into my room and offered me some leftover medication she was given after she had surgery a few months ago. I was reluctant at first because I knew exactly what it was. I took ONE pill. I'm not sure what the dosage was or how many milligrams it was because I can't find the bottle anywhere(which was probably a good thing). An hour later my pain lessened incredibly and I felt much better. I was able to go to work today.
I'm torn guys. I don't know what to do. Getting addicted to Opioids is probably one of the worst things that can happen to you. I can't really find any good advice over the interwebz either. I'm being completely serious here. I can't get the thought of those pills out of my head.

This may sound like a really dumb and obvious question to ask, but have you gone in to be scanned for a brain tumor or anything like that? I only ask this because you mentioned that the migraines are continuing to get worse.
