There are no reasons to not treat head aches with ibuprofen or aspirin or even Tylenol. If you need to take pain meds, also take it easy. Being free of the stress of head aches will help you move forward. Most people who complain about their head aches complain that they do not respond to pain meds. If you get relief, be grateful. Then relax and move forward.

Amitriptyline is very successful at treating head aches and insomnia. It is usually taken at a low dose of 10 mgs before bed. It is worth a try.

You also need to try to ignore every little head pain. They do not mean anything. I had head aches for 6 months after bumping my head with a truck transmission.
