Can Pain-Relieving Pills Actually Be Causing
Your Headaches?
Do you take analgesics (pain pills) for your chronic headaches?
If you do you are not alone, but you may be surprised to learn that
the pain-killers you're taking may actually be promoting your chronic
tension or migraine headaches.
What should you do when you have a tension or a migraine headache?
What should you do when you are experiencing chronic pain? Take
a pain pill, right? WRONG! Most people don't have a second thought
when it comes to taking analgesics for their chronic headaches or
other assorted aches and pains, but research from the St. Louis
University School of Medicine demonstrates that "analgesic use seems
to be the primary factor in promoting the development of chronic
pain." It was found that painkillers, instead of helping relieve
the chronic pain, can actually be the cause of it.
"The best thing a person with chronic headaches can do is get off
the painkillers," says Paul Duckro, associate professor of psychiatry
at St. Louis University. "In our studies, two-thirds of the chronic
headache sufferers benefited from the withdrawal of medication."
Two-thirds of the chronic headache sufferers not only did not get
rid of their headaches with the medications they were taking, but
increased their severity through the use of analgesics.
"Evidently, at a certain point in a chronic sufferer's intake of
analgesics (including aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen and the
stronger narcotic painkillers), the headache becomes drug-induced.
In an irony of biology, a substance intended to reduce pain becomes
a factor in producing it." Ibuprofen is the "pain-relieving" ingredient
in Advil, Motrin IB, Nuprin and many other headache medications.
Acetaminophen is the active "painkilling" ingredient in Tylenol.
You should be aware that these popular medications may be hindering
your recovery from your chronic headaches. And even worse, the medications
that are supposed to be relieving your pain may actually be the
cause of it.
According to Duckro: "The person takes some aspirin, but the pain
increases. So the person takes some more aspirin. Then the person
begins to take aspirin in anticipation of the pain, thinking, 'If
it's this bad when I'm taking medicine, it's going to be unbearable
without.' Gradually, the person - and it's more often a woman -
gets a headache whenever the medicine is not being taken." (Duckro
is director of St. Louis University's Biobehavioral Treatment Center,
which has its own headache management program).
Dr. William Bennett, head of nephrology at Oregon Health Sciences
University, estimates that over-the-counter painkillers are responsible
for as many as 20% of the 125,000 cases of end-stage kidney disease
in the United States. All drugs have side effects. These can include
dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, liver
damage, kidney damage, internal bleeding and many other symptoms
including death. We have always known and recognized these possible
negative consequences from ingesting drugs (unless we don't read
the labels), but we continue to take these analgesics by the mega
millions with the hope of relieving our pain and discomfort.
There is no guarantee that if we take a pain pill for our chronic
migraine headaches, stomach aches or other types of pain it
will actually eliminate the pain. There is also no guarantee that
we won't experience unwanted reactions to the drug itself. But when
the pain gets so bad we often decide that the possible relief outweighs
the risk associated with the analgesic.
But what most of us do not realize is that there may be one more
consequence from taking medication for chronic headaches. We may
find that the analgesics are actually the cause of the symptoms,
that without them we wouldn't be having so many headaches. If you
suffer with chronic headaches you may find that the pills you are
taking are actually inducing your discomfort. And you may also discover
that when you stop taking the medication you begin to experience
fewer chronic migraines. After all, according to the director of
St. Louis University's Biobehavioral Treatment Center two-thirds
of the chronic headache sufferers benefited from the withdrawal
of medication.
