MEDICATION OVERUSE HEADACHE

Headaches are so difficult to treat that some patients find themselves taking over the counter or even prescription headache remedies nearly every day. What many patients don’t realize is that this can actually “feed” a headache due to overuse of these remedies. A strong regimen of medications that prevent migraines supplemented with rescue medications for breakthrough headaches will be developed by the headache experts at NNG to bring your headaches back into line.
​
Many common pain relievers, when you take them in large enough amounts, can cause rebound headaches. These include:
  • Asprin
  • Sinus relief medications
  • Acetaminophen
  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and naproxen
  • Sedatives for sleep
  • Codeine and prescription narcotics (Tylenol 3, oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine)
  • Over-the-counter combination headache remedies that have caffeine (such as Anacin, Bayer Select, Excedrin, Goody’s powders)
  • Ergotamine medications (such as Migranal, Dihydroergotmine (DHE), Cafergot, Ergomar
  • Butalbital combination pain relievers (fioricet, fiorinal)
