Rebound Headache: When Migraine Medication Starts Feeding the Cycle

When the medication you rely on for relief starts being followed by more and more headaches, it can feel confusing and frustrating.

In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme explores rebound headache, also known as medication-overuse headache, and why frequent treatment can sometimes begin feeding the migraine cycle instead of calming it.

You’ll discover:

💡 How to recognize when frequent migraine medication may be contributing to increasingly frequent headaches

💡 Why rebound headache happens in the brain, and why it does not mean you are weak, dependent, or treating migraine “wrong”

💡 How to begin breaking the cycle safely, including one practical step you can take without suddenly stopping medication on your own.

This episode will help you better understand your medication patterns, recognize when something may be shifting, and approach the next steps with more clarity and support.
