Two approaches that I've used: Tofranil, 50 mg qhs, Naproxen 250mg bid.
The Naproxen doesn't seem to be as bad as things like Tylenol in promoting
the analgesic abuse Headache. DHE IV infusions for about 3 days (in
hospital). Cold turkey is the only way I think. Tapering doesn't
help. I wouldn't know how you can do this without your doctor. I haven't
seen anyone successfully do it alone. Doesn't mean it can't be done.
