I'm experiencing head pain after quitting drugs. What should I do?

Asked by Male, 39 ยท 1 month ago

After stopping drugs, headaches are frequently a withdrawal sign, so drink plenty of water, get enough of sleep, and stay away from alcohol and stimulants. Seek medical attention if the headache is severe, ongoing, or accompanied by vomiting, disorientation, or fever since you might require supervised withdrawal support.

It's common to experience headaches after quitting drugs due to withdrawal effects. To help manage this, ensure you stay well-hydrated, get enough rest, and avoid caffeine or alcohol, which can worsen headaches.

  • If you were using medications like Varnitrip-1 (varenicline) to quit nicotine, some headaches may be side effects of the medicine and usually improve over time.
  • Over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol can help, but avoid self-medicating without consulting your doctor.
  • If headaches are severe, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms like dizziness, confusion, or vision changes, seek medical attention promptly.

Please consult a specialist doctor, such as an addiction medicine expert or neurologist, to guide you safely through withdrawal and manage symptoms effectively.
