Headaches are debilitating!
sasha, they are debilitating, but they ultimately pass. I have been taking panadeine forte in preference to the small amounts of AL, but I fully recommend you see your health professional and let him/her know what you're doing and what would be the best to combat the headaches. Maybe even a small dose of valium might help in your case.
Your doctor can be a huge help if you're really open. I'm proud of how you're doing.

I agree with Mish, I had such bad headaches at first and thought I could just get rid of them with a couple glasses of wine. Of course when I did it was rarely only a couple and more like 7 glasses. Drink plenty of water, take some painkillers, go to bed, try to sleep in a dark room. Listen to the Hypnotherapy CDs, I find it relaxing to have earplugs in my ears whether I have the music on or not.
Hope this helps, you're doing fine.

Hi Sasha,
I too had very bad headaches during the first 5 days I stopped and took painkillers constantly for them, they eased off during day 5 to 7 and then into the second week I only had a couple of lighter ones.
I do agree with everyone though and if you think they are debilitating then you should talk to your doctor.
Good luck :hEnjoy today - there will be no other one quite like it....

Wow, funny how so many people have them when detoxing. I also had really bad headaches especially in the morning's. Although, I haven't had one in a while now. I wonder what causes them exactly? I mean obviously your body isn't used to having no AL, but I wonder what makes you get them. Anyhoo hope they don't last too much longer for you! xCourage is not the absence of fear, it's acting in spite of it.
