How long does it take to break the cycle of rebound headaches and how to deal with them until then ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exam!: Overuse of medication or rebound headaches are caused by the regular, long-term use of medication for the treatment of headaches. Medication overuse headaches generally stop when you stop taking pain medication. Also daily doses of caffeine may trigger rebound headaches. You should get a medical exam as soon as possible & work with the examining physician on dealing with this problem.
