Health Conditions

The best way to treat headaches that result from taking too much headache medication is to stop the medication. Some individuals may stop all at once, while others need to stop more gradually. A health professional may need to determine the best way for each individual to stop over-using headache medication. Additional treatments for rebound headaches may include behavior modification therapy and the use of non-analgesic medications to help control headache pain until the headache medications are stopped.
