Abstract

To the Editor: A frequently overlooked cause of headache is that of caffeine withdrawal. In a recent study, 11 per cent of psychiatric inpatients said that they had had caffeine-withdrawal headaches.¹ Such headaches were experimentally induced as early as 1943.² They have been clinically observed³ and epidemiologically documented to occur in natural settings.⁴ Headache usually begins approximately 18 hours after the most recent intake of caffeine. Beginning with a feeling of cerebral fullness, it rapidly progresses to a painful and throbbing headache, peaking approximately three to six hours after onset; it is not unusual for the pain to last a. . .
