Alcohol,
caffeine(N) (though small amounts of
caffeine(N) can relieve a
Headache), and other drugs like amphetamines, cocaine,
and marijuana can induce
Headaches. Withdrawal after habitual use of coffee, tea
and all other drugs and medications -- especially
pain(N) killers and even OTC (over-the-counter)
Headache medications -- can lead to substance withdrawal
Headaches. Analgesic and other
pain(N)killers (such as Excedrin or Tylenol), if taken more
frequently than twice a week, can lead to a condition known as an "analgesic rebound
Headache". These
Headaches develop over time and become more apparent when:
the user takes more and more medication, but the
Headaches continue to get worse.
the medications appear to be less effective.
the user notices that their
Headache is worse three to four hours after taking the medication.
the user's routine medications no longer work well for them.
the user has to take their medication to avoid severe
pain(N) .
the user is taking more medication, and still getting no (or less) relief.
