Rebound headaches from opiate withdrawal

[anxietydriven]

Been taking low doses of painkillers between 5mg hydrocodone to 5mg oxycodone sporadically for a month and a half. Like maybe two pills a week.And I havent had any in 7 days and ive been having random migraines. Could it be from a minor withdrawal?

Damn, I might be wrong here but that doesn't sound like enough for you to still be having any real withdrawals at this point. I also don't think the headaches you're having as a result of not taking a painkiller would be classified as "rebound" Those are usually caused from taking too many too frequently (it doesn't sound like this is what you're doing) and the body rebounding into another headache. Sorry but just thought I'd share my two cents worth.

Yeah i've never heard of a headache from not taking opiates. I've gotten bad headaches the next day from taking too much but never from the withdrawals.
