Talk:Medication overuse headache

message: Rebound headaches, do they really exist, or are they all inside your head?  :-)
I've read contrary articles, peer reviewed, but do not remember the source.  If you know of sources for both discussion points, please post.
:I have daily morning headaches which two doctors have said may be caused by a  rebound effect of the medication I use (Imitrex).  So they, at least, believe that certain medications used for headache can exhibit a rebound effect.  Whether there are rebound headaches, per se, which are different from other kinds of headaches, I don't know. –Shoaler (talk) 16:40, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

I think it's an interesting tidbit and I put it back into "trivia."
Just an FYI: I have a colleague who worked with Dr. Kurdrow for many years. Neither Dr. Kudrow nor Lisa particularly care for this connection to be made. They feel that her "movie star" image does not do anything to help awareness of headache issues.

thread_title: Unnecessary

message: I appreciate the input from another user on the time necessary for preventive medications.  I deleted "lifetime" and changed it to many years because migraine patients do not require prophylaxis for their entire lifetime.  Thankfully, migraine is cyclical and women in particular rarely require prophylaxis after menopause.  Importantly, medication overuse headache patients do not require lifetime prophylaxis... only a few months to break their headache cycle.  Thanks.  E4043 20:50, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Preventive medications

message: Thanks. This is such a huge issue for so many patients.
May I please ask your source for "women in particular rarely require prophylaxis after menopause? I've not seen any data on this in the journals, and it's not what I see anecdotally from Migraineurs. If you know of any studies, I'd love to look them up and review them. Am always trying to stay up-to-date myself.
Thank you!

thread_title:  Preventive medications 

message: I actually think this is an interesting piece of information.  I say we put this up for a vote before it gets deleted for good.  Please vote yes or know if you think it's interesting trivia that the MD who discovered rebound headache is Dr. Lee Kudrow, who is the actress Lisa Kudrow's father.  Thanks!  I'm going to put it back in for now.  E4043 00:46, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Please Vote if you want the "Trivia" included or not

message: I think that this article should be merged into the rebound effect article. Rebound insomnia, rebound anxiety both redirect to rebound effect. The rebound effect article is now mostly about benzos and it would be benefitial I think to have rebound headache covered in that article and have it all together.--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 09:29, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I am trying to organized headaches based on the ICHD classification.  http://216.25.100.131/ihscommon/guidelines/pdfs/ihc_II_main_no_print.pdf  These headaches are officially known as Medication overuse headaches and there is more than enough literature to write a FA on it.  --Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:53, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Complicated issue.  These headaches are relatively common.  Narcotics are known to make headaches more frequent even if used occasionally.  All these headache articles need substantial work.  Will try to address some of the problems unless someone gets to it first.--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:47, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge proposal

message: I've reverted the latest additions. Although the references look good, they're not tied to the text, which will make the new content impossible to manage. (See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(medicine-related_articles)#Citing_medical_sources). The editor adding the content is a new editor, but I'd be happy to collaborate with him/her on these additions, if he/she is still interested.  --Arcadian (talk) 02:31, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
