Stop adding meds: You are adding useless medications to a headache which doesn't have a proper diagnosis yet. What you're doing by treating with "too much of a good thing" is that you're pushing the headache farther away from being easily treatable and toward "impossible to treat without hospitalization." I am a headache specialist and can help get a diagnosis first: www.healthtap.com/drsaghafi Key Code: PDXFNR
