This isn't a question asking for medical advice nor does my mother have any health problems, so hopefully mods don't close the topic.

I'm just curious as to what drug my mother was given for her migraines a while back when we lived in the US. She has always suffered from them ever since she was a kid and it was only until she was in her late 30s that she went to a general practicing who referred her to a neurologist that did an MRI scan and found lesions around the areas where she complained of the headaches.

As a result, he prescribed her a 'narcotic' which he said would most likely need proof of prescription before we moved to Europe incase airport officials stopped her and performed a baggage search.

My mother has always been a pretty anti-drug person, regardless of whether they're illicit or prescition drugd as she's seen many people have their lives "destroyed" by drugs in her small town village from the African country she was born in. Anyways, she took the drugs but apparently after a few weeks, the effects kicked in.

Eventually when we moved to Europe two month's later, she threw them away because they made her feel "horrible" and as if she was in "zombie like state". They did stop the migraines but it wasn't worth it for her especially since she almost had an accident.

She forgot the name of the drug but when Michael Jackson died and his drug-list from his physician was given, she recognised of the drugs was the same one she took.

I thought it might be opiates since the drug was controlled but it seems unlikely as she describes an overall unpleasant mental experience, being in a zombie like state and no distinct effects of things like hydrocodone/oxycodone which are a strong buzz, slight-severe nausea, constipation and heavy itching from the release of histamines.

We're these drugs opiates or something else? What prescription drugs for the mind/brain could be controlled that aren't opiates or benzos?
