Can you give me more info on this thing they call “rebound headaches”? I’m a 19-year old student and was recently diagnosed of having migraine. I have been getting these weird headaches and I thought they were just regular headaches so I never bothered asking a doctor about it. Anyway, I’m into medication now (dr prescribed fioricet) and thank goodness for it, it helps me get a good night sleep. The attacks usually occur once-twice a month. I noticed that after getting a headache, I wake up and the pain is not there anymore but right around after lunch, the pain goes back. I take the med and it’ll be gone until the next attack. Is that the rebound headache?
