I either have 2 autoimmune conditions or one systemic one. The verdict is still out. Anyway, I have severe stomach pain and also eye pain and horrible headaches that feel like a cluster headache. Maybe they are a really bad migraine. I am not sure.

What medications, specifically in the opiate family, would be most appropriate? Which one would you ask for if given the choice?

I also have a chronic health problem and with it, severe headaches. I have tried everything from opiates to seizure-control meds (no, I don’t have seizures!) to a couple others specifically for migtraines and had no luck until recently.
Maxalt MLT 10 mg has worked like a miracle drug for me ! It dissolves under your tongue in a few seconds and works on the headache within 10-15 minutes ! …A Godsend !
