How do I know this is a Withdrawal headache
Hi,
I am 11 days sober! I was never a bottle of vodka a day drinker but I was getting outta control and drinking almost daily! Now it's been 11 days and I am still crying uncontrollably and have a headache that I feel will take me out and ringing in my ears! (The ringing has been for three years, maybe from drinking too!)
My question is: is this normal! I'm even taking migraine meds and nothing cures this pain!
Help! Before I feel like im going crazy! Thx

Welcome to SR.
I had terrible headaches after I quit, as bad as hangover headaches. They passed. That said, persistent headaches aren't normal. Perhaps you should be asking this question to your doctor.

do you suffer from migraines? i'd caution against taking medications that aren't appropriate to your condition.
a visit to the dr is a good recommendation!!! also making sure to keep hydrated, well fed and well rested. maybe try lying down with a heating pad beneath your neck and shoulders. but do be careful about taking handfuls of pain relievers......

Hi Saxy, congratulations on 11 days
It is probably withdrawal related but best check with Dr to be on the safe side.
The ringing in the ears is similar to tinnitus which as far as I know is not drink related
Good luck
