I was treated with this medication after Humana sint me to the Emergency Room at ST. Joseph's/Candler in Savannah. I had fallen off a latter and fractured a front tooth with a post broken off. It took a dentist 6 days to temporary repair my tooth. What was the purpose in giving me #10 of Cephadyn?

I have had migraines since i was around 12 or 13. This medication was given to me by the 2nd nuerologist and the only thing i have noticed is that it makes me loopy and only makes the migraines bearable for a couple hours until it wears off. i'm not impressed.

I have suffered with migranes since I was 12. This is the FIRST medication I have been given that helps. My migrane will occasionally come back after the meds wear off but I am getting relief and it only comes back maybe 10% of the time. I am very pleased and satisfied with my results with this medication!

I've found that I must take this medication with 800mg of ibuprofen to really get relief from my headaches. I have another medication (metaxalone 800mg) that's sort of a pre-headache med. It treats muscle tension in my neck & shoulders. If I time things just right the cephadyn & metaxalone are effective.

It is a very good medication for headaches but i just hated to take it because it states it may be habit forming.

The first time I took this med, I was asleep for 18 hours straight. I have started taking it again, after numerous other meds failed to even put a dent in my headaches. I am on daily treatment of my migraines so this is helps when Tylenol, Advil, Aspirin, Excerdin or anything else OCT doesn't work. I've had no side effects since the initial sleeping for 18 hours incident. My last dose (yesterday) didn't even make me drowsy and helped alot. My prescription says do not take everyday on it. So I take it only when absolutely necessary. Read More Read Less

my experience with the medication. I feel much more calm and my headaches are relieved. But sometimes I do have a rebound.

Initially when starting this med, I was drowsy but seem to have built a tolerance to the drowsy side effect, took away headaches after trying numerous headache meds.

I have been having headaches for over a week and this is what they gave me. It does not work for me and I am still having headaches and now, I have to have a CAT Scan and if that doesn't show anything, then I have to have a MRI.

I am a t-8 para. with quadriparesis. This was given to me for tension headaches. It works great IF you take it as directed and at the first sign of that headache. I DO NOT wait and think a hot towel will help. I do the pill then the hot towel and I am doing much better. I have been on this since mid Dec. The pharmacy at first did not fill it but 2 days later I went back to another pharmacy and they sent it through just fine. They said it depended on the code and how the insurance company got it.Read More Read Less
