I've had some really bad headaches while taking PERCOCET for severe back pain. Is this a side effect? Has anyone else had this happen? It helps with the back pain but the headaches make it almost not worth it! Is there something that I can take for the headache on top of taking the Percocets?

You can take some advil or other NSAID to help.
I just asked this question somewhere else... I guess I should have looked around first. Can you tell me just for my own piece of mind is it more likely that my headaches are in fact rebound headaches or that the meds are raising my BP and that's why I'm getting them. I am asking because I have high BP and am on meds for that and the last time I was getting headaches like this was cause my BP was elevated and I didn't know it...
Thanks so much
