Likely Not: But since you have daily headaches, you need to seek attention from your primary doctor or headache/neurology doctor to better manage your headaches.

Daily for 10yrs! Wow: It is so hard to believe that you could suffer daily headaches for 10 yrs only taking an OTC pain medicine. At a stronger dose, the Rx version can have w/drawal - so perhaps.... But I'd think it is time to see a doctor to evaluate your headache problem. I really think it's time to do that. Good luck.
