Headaches that occur while taking pain medications are usually Medication Overuse Headaches (MOH). In this case, the medicine that is used to take away pain actually begins to cause the pain. Treatment involves removing all pain medications for a period of time, then not using pain medicines more than 3 doses per week to prevent the return of MOH. Any time a headache changes or a new type of headache appears, it is recommended to seek the help of a physician, especially a Headache Specialist.
