Rebound headache - how to escape
By: James Cottrill
You`ve been getting headaches. Finally, you find some medications that are making a difference. You`re headaches are almost all gone – but wait – they`re coming back! They`re getting worse! The painkillers aren`t doing the job they used to do. What`s going on?
You may be a victim of “rebound headache”. Rebound headache is a common problem. It happens when you start trying to fight off headaches, and they start fighting back. What`s often happening in rebound headache is that the very drugs that used to solve the problem are actually making things worse. If you start taking the drugs on a regular basis, your body actually gets used to the medication and starts to crave it when it`s not there. Then the headaches get worse, so you take more drugs. The cycle goes on.
If you`re suffering from a mild headache almost every day, you may have rebound headache. If you`re taking pain relievers every 2-3 days, that`s a sign that you`re caught in the cycle. You may find that 3-4 hours after taking the drugs the headache gets even worse, or you may start waking up with headache.
How can you avoid getting caught in this trap?
The Mayo Clinic reports that the pills most likely to cause rebound headache are drugs with a combination of ingredients, such as drugs that include combinations of caffeine, aspirin and acetaminophen, and migraine drugs like ergotamines and triptans (eg Imitrex). If you`re taking a lot of painkillers, see your doctor and try to treat the problem. There may be newer and better treatments available.
Also, be sure you have at least two days that are drug-free between every day when you`re taking painkillers. Some doctors suggest that you take no more than 10 doses a month. If you`re taking much more than that, see a good doctor and look for other solutions.
But what if you`re already dealing with rebound headache?
Though it may be hard to believe, you may actually be better off with no drugs at all. Many doctors suggest going cold turkey. You may need medical help to be able to get out of the cycle. The sooner you can get that help the better.
