on days I have a migraine:
between 1 and 2 imitrexes
between 1 and 4 medium dose aspirins
between 1 and 2 naproxen sodiums

on some days that I have severe anxiety:
up to half a xanax or klonopin (but never on the same day that I take migraine meds)

and no other prophylactic scrips currently.

So, between 9 and 14 pills a day now that it's winter
or between 7 and 14 in general.

And yet this doesn't seem like "much" to me, compared to other times in my life. It's more than I really realized; I coordinate them across the day with meals to make sure I'm not taking anything on an empty stomach, and over the years I've gained a lot of weight just because of trying to make sure I don't give myself an ulcer when I have a lot of pills to take.
What would be the result of you took a benzo on the same day you took a migraine med?
