Does Anyone Get A Headache?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Sometimes I get a headaches and they feel like I've been hit round the head with a hammer, with these ones they'll only last a few minutes.

But after I've had a seizure I have a headache like I'm hungover that's how I feel and no pain killer will help and my dr won't prescribed me with anything to take for these sort headaches.

Oh, boy do I get headaches. Always have. Right after a seizure. My Dr. used to give me hydrocodone but, since they were moved from a schedule 2 drug to a 1, he won't give them to me anymore. What he did give me in it's place is Rizatriptan 5mg. It works pretty good. Hope this helps.

After one first comes too and every where is noisey and overwhelming, and feeling sick etc, yes, thencomes a really bad head as if your head is under a weight. Yes, I should imagine this is like a hang over

I have the same thing as of yet the only thing I have found that helps is sleeping. But it could take any where from 1 hour to 12 hours depending on how bad my seizure was. Hope this helps.
