Gradual withdrawal can be achieved without withdrawal headache and with complete disappearance of the induced chronic daily headache.Īcute and chronic effects of caffeine on performance, mood, headache, and sleep. Children and adolescents with high daily caffeine consumption in the form of cola drinks may suffer from caffeine-induced daily headache. Patients were encouraged to achieve gradual withdrawal from cola drinks, which led to complete cessation of all headaches in 33 subjects, whereas one boy and two adolescent girls continued to suffer from migraine without aura not frequent enough to justify prophylactic medication. All were heavy cola drinks consumers at least 1.5 L of cola drinks per day (192.88 mg of caffeine daily), and an average of 11 (range 10.5-21) L of cola drinks a week, which amounts to 1414.5 mg of caffeine (range 1350.1-2700.3). The mean age of the subjects was 9.2 years (range 6-18) and mean headache duration was 1.8 years (range 0.6-5). Over a period of 5 years we have encountered, in a tertiary headache clinic in a general hospital, 36 children and adolescents (17 girls and 19 boys) with daily or near-daily headache related to excessive caffeine intake in the form of cola drinks. We report our experience with children and adolescents with daily or near-daily headache and excessive consumption of caffeine in the form of cola drinks. Nevertheless, caffeine abuse headache is not listed as a separate category in the International Headache Society classification, 1988. Excessive caffeine consumption, mostly in the form of coffee and tea, is a well-recognized cause of headache or migraine, and withdrawal can cause headache. Ĭaffeine is the most widely used behaviourally active substance. However during this progressive stage, headaches will definitely occur.Īs far as the caffeine is concerned.Ĭaffeine-induced headache in children and adolescents.ĭepartment of Neurology, Meir General Hospital, Sapir Medical Centre, Kfar Saba, Israel. In RARE cases ephedrine can cause cerebral vasculitis(inflamation of the vessels in the cerebrum) which could result in sub-cortical cerebral hemorages.mostly in cocaine users. Withdrawl of ephedrine can cause diffuse cerebral vasodilation with co-responding hypotension which could also cause headaches from low BP ie. It is structurally related to serotonin and is a 5HT1 agonist with vasoconstrictive properties.It has a selective but heterogenous effect on the carotoid arterial system. Sumitriptan is used to treat migraine and vascular headaches. It's vaso-constrictive properties are diffuse. I have a couple of theories.Įphedrine is a potent vasoconstrictor with corresponding increases in the catecholmines(adrenaline and noradrenaline) inducing a state of hypertension with co-responding high blood pressure. Wat would u advise to make it more tolerable for this EC stack? I was thinking of 1/2 tab ephedrine & just 1 guarana tablet.

I've since stopped throwing up & I'm still wide alert but my thigh area seem to specially tired. My heart was beating so fast before 2 pm that I thought I was having a heart attack. My urine spelt heavily of coffee as well. For the whole day, I sipped water to combate the dehydration as I was breaking out in cold sweat as well (in air con room !). I couldn't eat anything at all & could only manage a bun after lunch hour & a scoop of protein shake an hour later. I threw up the 2nd time like an hour later. The coffee was terrible to swallow (I hardly drink coffee) & after like 20 mins, i threw up for the 1st time.

I took it on an empty stomach & wat happened next made me wish I were dead. i just started today on ECA stack, i took half a ephedrine tab (25 mg split into half) & caffine (3 heaping tablespoons of coffee powder with no sugar & creamer & 1 guarana tablet at 90 mg), I din take the asprin cause i read it merely prolonged the effect & had some bad effects on the body like thinning of blood etc. Hi pinz, dun mind i hijack your thread cause i got some ECA related questions too.
