answer:Actually, its a vicious circle of pain and the threat of more pain. People who have migraine headaches are some of the most prone people to become addicts of pain medicene. I do not believe the meds are creating more pain, the pain meds may be wearing off its intentions, since the longer you take them, the more you need for the same relief. This is not a good situation, since the person overtakes the prescribed pain medicene, in order to achieve the same pain relief. I was a lifetime sufferer of migraine headaches. Its easy to become addicted to pain pills.
