Rebound headaches are commonly caused by taking too much pain medication. The American Academy of Family Physicians offers these suggestions to help prevent rebound headaches:
- Don’t take any medication more often than is recommended on the product label or prescription.
- If you’ve been taking pain medication for a while, don’t stop taking it completely without first talking to your doctor about the appropriate way to discontinue use.
- Avoid caffeine if it seems to worsen your headaches.
- Make lifestyle changes including eating regular and healthy meals, taking steps to manage stress, getting frequent exercise, and going to bed and waking up at the same times each day.
