Yes! I was completely surprised to get headaches after I stopped drinking because I associated my routines headaches with drinking, especially red wine. Wow! I'm currently on day 10 of sobriety and have had 2 severe headaches! I have Maxalt for migraines and had to use them. I did notice my neck felt like it was out, I had been sleeping on my stomach and woke up with my neck all kinked, so that may have started it, and then I was reading a book leaning forward and my neck got even more sore and tight, so that definitely didn't help. I went to bed and thought I would wake up and the headache would be gone, but I woke up at 6 a.m. with a severe headache! Ugh! Like a bad hangover without the drinking! See your doc if your headaches continue; Maxalt and Imitrex are great non-narcotic migraine remedies. And stay hydrated in the summer heat!
