It seems to be evidence based that triptans do in fact cause rebound headaches. I think this may have been part of my problem this fall when i was having migraine daily/every other day for over 2 months. I think frequent use of excedrin had got me into this cycle (caffeine has a similar effect on the blood vessels in the brain as the rebounding effect in a triptan).
I’m weaning myself off of triptans and all caffeine, along with not taking in any tyramine. Today is day 2 and I’ve been miserable. Excited to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Heal Your Headache by Dr. Buchholz was strongly recommended by Dr.Rauch at mass eye and ear, and I’m so happy i picked this book up and listen to his recommendations. I feel so much more knowledgeable about my condition and more in control.
