Hello ladies!
My headaches increased greatly after my surgery (seven years ago). As my neurologist has diagnosed them now- they are chronic migraines and also tension headaches. I take Topamax daily for the migraines (the ONLY thing that has ever helped and what a wonder drug it has been).
I take Soma and Midrin for breakthough migraines and Soma alone (a muscle relaxer) for tension headaches).

My experience has been that the headache increase is a common phenomenon within the craniotomy society.
