    I have come across a couple of articles over the last few months that suggested the rebound pain theory is just a theory and may not be accurate. Another theory is that some people may have problems with rebound pain while others do not (differing bepiochemistries). Below is a link to an article about one neuro who is having positive results treating chronic migraneurs with daily triptan use. I know I don’t have rebound pain… I can need a lot of Imitrex for days in a row, sometimes weeks, but then suddenly the migraines let up (often when the weather changes), and I can go as long as a week (sometimes longer) and not have a migraine. And… although I have daily pain in my spine and joints (due to a lot of degenerative changes that started quite early and some old injuries, too), my pain is so much worse when the barometric pressure drops (or changes quickly either direction). Otherwise, I can manage the pain relatively well with low dose meds without needing more or needing to raise the dosage. We really need more studies! 🙂 http://www.nyheadache.com/blog/daily-use-of-triptans/

    I def believe in rebounds I know for myself anyways my body gives me hell like a craving and want and then I take a pill, or a shot (maxalt or imitrex shot) and it sometimes subsides some of the pain. Sometimes I just have to go through the hell and agony cause I know if I don’t my monthly meds will disappear too soon and then I’ll be screwed for the remainder of the month.

    I can vouch for this one!!! I was taking 15 Imitrex per month & my doctor called me in to say my drug benefit company had called. They pointed out that people taking that many have serious side effects… including blindness. I found an alternative & no longer get migraines.

    I never believed in rebound headaches. After 35 years of migraines which had become daily, I was taking 6 Vicodin a day and 8 Zomig. I had surgery on my forehead by Dr Bardia Amirlak in Dallas and he found 2 sets of extra nerves and extensive scar tissue compressing the facial nerves. A week after the surgery and I’m taking minimal medication, mostly for the swelling and pain from surgery. Find the cause and the migraines will go away.

    I definitely suffer from MOH from excedrin use fir over 20 years and have tried to stop with no success. I fear I’m one of those with grey matter on the brain. If that’s the case I’m wondering is there anything that will help? This article really made me feel there is no help for me.
