Sounds like "rebound headaches'. Suffered from migraines for years. Got a script for Midrin. Would take one at time of migraine; then it would come back, take another and on and on. Originally did this with Bufferin as well.
You take med, then relief for a very short time, take med adgain, this becomes a pattern. At the time I was unaware of how rebound headaches work. I finally had to get off all the headache meds for a couple of months. It was really rough.

But, by then, Imirex came out and now I know better, I take one; never more than a second one. Almost always sufficient. I will NEVER let myself again get caught up in the "rebound cycle". That is excactly what it is a "cycle". It will not end and these type of headaches will not end until you stop the "cycle".

Hope you get relief. It can really make life miserable. The ringing in my ears would especially let me know I had overdone meds.
