Hi, @jdiakiw - thanks for bringing up the topic of medication overuse headache (MOH). I believe I recognize this from one of my parents in my childhood.

I'd like to tag some Connect members who have brought up the topic of MOH: @lauriedr @importantcargo @terriergal. They along with @richman54660 may have some input on MOH, detoxing from pain meds and what it's like when all the pain medications have gone away. @johnbishop also may have some ideas.

How did your detox from pain medications go, jdiakiw?

Hi, @jdiakiw, I don't have any experience with medication induced headaches but did find a couple of newer articles on the topic that may provide some insight if you haven't already seen them.
