Overuse of triptans and severe rebound headache for a month. Ask when it stops.

Hi there - Thanks so much for posting. What I'm hearing from your post is that you're experiencing severe rebound headaches for the past month, and are looking for an answer as to when it might stop. If that's not right, please do feel free to correct me when you respond.


I encourage you to speak to your neurologist if you've continued to experience on-going headaches for about a month. That is a long time to not see any relief. Do you feel comfortable reaching out to them, and letting them know how you're doing?


We also have some articles about this topic, but I don't think they answer your question directly. You can check out this article here on rebound headaches: https://migraine.com/headache-types/rebound-headaches. We also have a similar forum post asking how long it takes to recover from triptan overuse. You can read that here: https://migraine.com/forums/how-long-does-it-take-to-recover-from-triptan-overuse. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to post again. We are here to help to the best of our ability! - Cody (Team Member)
