Hi
Letta, Welcome.
I'm not sure why they prescribed cyclobenzaprine (aka Flexeril) - a muscle relaxant - for headaches
There are a couple of possibilities. If you are still taking anything, there is a phenomenon called "
rebound headache" that sometimes happens, but that should clear up within a short time after discontinuing the causal medication.
Another possibility (that you should pursue with doctors) is the possibility of
Post-concussion syndrome (PCS). There is a specific
forum for that condition here on NeuroTalk.
