This is my 11th day and the headaches have been bugging me off and on in a minor way since I quit, but over the past 2 days they're more intense and more frequent. About an hour ago I downed 3 aspirin, for the 3rd time today, but these damn headaches won't go away. When does it stop?

Otherwise I feel great, more lucid, and I don't even really want a drink (though I still think about it a few times a day).

maybe try a doctor's visit

I started getting headaches when I quit drinking... but it wasn't from the drinking.

Did you used to drink a lot of coffee for hangovers, etc? If so it could just be caffeine withdrawl. I had pounding headaches and it took me a little while to buy a Mountain Dew and put 2 and 2 together.

Could be other explanations, for sure. However, headaches aren't a symptom I remember many other people talking about here.

I still have pounding headaches that make me dizzy 5.5 months off, pretty much every day

You might have unresolved issues on your mind, issues alcohol used to subdue. Think thats what the other steps are for.
