                        I, too, wake up every morning with a headache, from moderate to severe. They seem to get worse as I get older.  I know that I am experiencing rebound headaches, but don't know how to get out since the meds causing the rebound are indispensible.  I take an Imitrex and 2 Ezol every morning and have recently added a muscle relaxer since I wake up so stiff.  I also take Pamelor at bedtime, which helps a lot.  I sympathize with you, sometimes I feel like I am the only one with this problem.  Mornings are terrible.  I worry about long-term effects of meds, but what does one do?
