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.

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.
