Head Rebound Headache Syndrome Treatment

If you are using pain medications more than 2 days a week, you may be having headaches due to overuse or misuse of your medication.

Medication overuse headaches, or rebound headaches , are caused by a cycle of using pain medications for short-term relief, followed by the headache pain returning for increasingly longer periods of time despite taking more pain medications.

All types of pain pills (including over-the-counter drugs), muscle relaxants, some decongestants, and caffeine can cause this pattern.
