Is your pain medication causing more pain?

Although it can be an important way of treating migraine, regular use of medication to treat migraine symptoms can cause ‘medication overuse headache’.2 Medication overuse may be a sign that your current medication isn’t giving you enough migraine control and you may consider consulting your doctor. Your doctor may prescribe preventive treatment or alter your medication to improve your chances of responding to it. If you suspect medication overuse headache, it is important to discuss it with your doctor during your next visit.
