I’m new to this site and believe I have Hypnic Headaches but none of the various Specialists have ever used that diagnosis. I didn’t realize anyone else was woken up at the same time in severe pain and had to get up. I cant lie on my pillow because it is too painful. Hence I get up, take oxycodone, eat a few
crackers, drink milk to protect my stomach and walk around. Often I’ll do very light tasks as the pain subsides. I’m up for 1-1:30hrs. Before I can lie on the soft pillow again.
I’m going to try the 100mg caffeine tablets instead of Oxy. How many is usually effective? Thanks

The caffeine in my case didn't give any kind of result. I made several attempts even going beyond 100mg. It is still a test to be done absolutely, it is one of the first attempts that the neurologists made me do, I hope that in your case it will help you.
