I am using codeine for 6 days now and I have to say that my coughing is almost completely gone. But, I have some other problems now. I had issues with migraine before, and I take medications for that too. But, it looks like it is getting worse these days and I wonder if that is because of the codeine. Does that drug cause migraines?

Well, it is possible. I mean, one of its side effects is headache, and that is what you are complaining of. I assume you only have a day or two of therapy that was quite successful, after that you will stop with codeine anyway. After that, migraines should stop, if not, I guess you will have to see your doctor again.

I certainly noticed a correlation between taking codeine and waking up the next morning with a migraine. I normally do not get migraines at all, so I'm sure it was the codeine.
