Drug
Rebound
Drug
rebound occurs when a medicine is used frequently over
a period of time to treat a specific problem, like a
headache. Paradoxically, the medicine itself can become
a trigger, causing the same symptoms when it wears off
at the end of its effective time-frame or is withdrawn.
The person finds themselves taking the medicine more
frequently or in higher doses, trying to control their
symptoms. Medication rebound often occurs with decongestants
(cold pills, nasal sprays or eye-drops) and over-the-counter
headache medications. Problems of this sort should be
discussed with the medical doctor to determine the best
course of action.
