So weary… Personally nurofen and paracetamol won’t touch my migraines either that’s why I got so addicted to the solpadeine. Have you any specific meds for your migraine from your GP apart from codeine? I take sumatriptan 100mg and if it’s not too bad Rizotriptan. I was also taking amitryptline 10mg nightly as a preventative. Another help for me is an ice hat you can get them on Amazon. You keep it in the freezer and pop it on when you need it. It really helps. The first weeks of no solpadeine I just wore it almost constantly! Drink loads of water and try not to eat processed food. I know you will be craving starchy carbs. I’ve given up caffeine alcohol and gluten and it’s made a huge difference to my migraines. Good luck it’s so hard I know. The pain can be terrifying. X
