Sobriety Headache Cures?

Hey Guys,
I am 4 days in and actually doing pretty okay, except for the fact that I have had the same headache for about 2 days. Anybody have any ideas of how to perhaps get rid of this sobriety hangover?

If the usual things like advil, and reducing caffeine and smoking and drinking enough water, aren't working you might consider seeing a Dr, fleuryp?

Tiger Balm! That's not medical advice... it's just what I used to get rid of the daily tension headaches I had for months after getting sober x

i read somewhere once that MANY of our headaches are actually due to dehydration.....funny isn't it, how we do take aspirin/advil? with WATER. so go chug down a big slug o' H20! and keep hydrating!

Yeah- what Dee said!

Not sure what you've tried so far, so here's some more practical advice for ya, since you asked- You may have some muscle tension from stress. If you are clenching your jaw or tensing your shoulders or neck, it can cause a pretty major headache!

This video really helped me with my migraines. Maybe it will help?
