Ditching painkillers can actually make your headache better! In fact, pain medications (whether OTC or prescription options) may cause a backfire effect which makes headaches much worse. You should avoid taking painkillers more than 2-3 times per week.
In case cutting back on pain meds is helpless, make sure to visit a neurologist who will offer the right treatment to make you feel comfortable and painless.
