Will a uk General practitioner prescribe co-codamol or similar formulations for intensifying migraine?
Possibly, depending on the individual gp. However they would want to confirm the diagnosis of migraine first and are more likely to want to prescribe a migraine-specific drug (such as domperamol, migraleve etc.) if they agree that your symptoms match the profile. If they conclude that you are experiencing recurrent headaches instead they will not likely prescribe something so strong. Bear in mind that if you are experiencing these symptoms frequently and are taking painkillers frequently (twice or more a week), then they could be producing ‘rebound’ – making your symptoms worse. If you are getting migraines this frequently, you may need a preventative drug instead.
