I guess I don’t associate caffeine withdrawal headache with migraine as I don’t generally get migraines but tension headaches instead.
The caffeine withdrawal felt like my head was imploding, if that makes sense. Not sure if that’s a migraine or if opioids were making it worse, but the Vicodin I was prescribed absolutely had 500mg of Tylenol in it; and only 5mg of hydrocodone.
A week of this was terrible and it did not improved. I have sense learned to moderate caffeine and often drink tea instead of coffee or even decaf or halfcaff when I want to cut down. I will never try to cold turkey it again.
but we’re not talking about migraines.
we’re talking about caffeine withdrawal headaches.
neither of which are 💯 understood but that doesn’t make them the same.
plus, Vicodin has Tylenol in it. so i was taking Tylenol.
Caffeine withdrawal can absolutely trigger migraines, easily.
Not sure about the Tylenol in Vic, but just that opioids in general don’t work well. You can easily Google it.
