Whats the problem with taking acute medication more than twice a week?
The problem that can arise in individuals with migraine headaches is something we refer to as “medication overuse headaches” or “rebound headaches.” Essentially, in this situation, a person’s migraine headaches, for whatever reason, increase in frequency and lead to using medications more than a couple of days per week. That can result in withdrawal headaches caused by physical dependence on that medicine. Rebound headaches are difficult to treat until the individual completely stops taking that particular medication.
