The splitting headache on your end? Years ago a doctor told me sometimes you can get “rebound” pain after the meds wear off and that happened to me too a time or two but it was almost twenty years ago so I forgot what I did to deal with it.

I was taking several narcotic pills a day for 2 or 3 weeks after I broke my arm. Sometime during that period, the headache started. I don't think it was a rebound headache, but rather was caused directly by the narcotic (Oxycodone or something like that). The headache took days to resolve. When I had the second surgery on my arm to remove the pins, I took one narcotic pill and immediately got a headache that lasted for days.

I refuse to take narcotics of any kind now. I wish there were better means of pain management.
