    So my specifics are off. The point is still there. Choosing to suffer when you can easily stop it with near 0 downsides is kinda dumb. This guy clearly doesn’t have an easy fix with near 0 downsides. So this quite obviously doesn’t apply to that situation, does it?

      There are downsides. Your point was entirely about magical fairy snowflake exceptions of which this isn’t, it isn’t about addiction, but it is about side effects being real.

      It fits the exact case of the originally posted image.

      There are also downsides like having to inject fucking ajovy into your skin. Shit fucking hurts. Not to mention brain fog and a host of other sensation related issues for many people that choose it only because the headaches are worse. One side effect of Naratriptan is you don’t sleep, for hours to days like horribly bad coffee that also doesn’t let your eyes focus and read.

      I HAVE cervicogenic headaches. I HAVE used these medications to treat them happening DAILY for 2 decades. I have the first hand experience, which exactly mirrors this person’s, ties directly to the original image, and it is completely informed by years in science. You, on the other hand, didn’t even know migraines aren’t treated with the drug you stated explicitly you assumed this was about. Reducing the whole sun of the millions of movies one suffer’s and their conundrum of choosing between the devil and he deep blue sea every single day doesn’t make you anything except for perhaps an ignorant ass.

      Fuck off about having any sort of a point you contrarian for the sake of it wanker.
