The Answer is YES!!!   As a long time migraine sufferer, I completely agree with the post from Migraineville, AZ:   "use your pain medication sparingly and wisely and it will work better for you".   It seems better (in my own situation) to endure some discomfort at times (for occasional low grade migraines), rather than get into the position of rebound headaches from medication overuse. This does not mean I take nothing. It means that when the inital remedy did not really work ... I stop and make a decision. What do I do next? How bad is my headache? Can I ride it out today? Can I take some time to relax, maybe lay down for twenty minutes, or do I need to slay a dragon today? Based on my answers, I decide what to do as far as medication. I stop & go through this process every time the medication fails to work.   Because medication overuse only seems to make the problem larger (occasional migraines can turn into chronic migraines). And for some reason (for me anyway) the pain gets worse too. Once you get into that cycle there is no where to easily go for relief - because medications have stopped working. They are now causing headaches. Trips to the ER/hospital are not fun, AVOID rebound headaches if at all possible.   MAYBE THIS WILL HELP SOMEONE ELSE It also seems better (for me) to use a combination of different products for different headache episodes to help avoid rebound headaches. Switching around between ibuprofen, naproxen sodium & my prescribed triptan product seem to help, rather than always reaching for the same medication every time.   Wish there was a cure for migraines, but until then ... Hope this helps!
