Depends on how bad your caffeine addiction is. I tried cold turkey when I had a tooth pulled when I was drinking a pot of coffee a day.
A week in bed on Vicodin and Percocet, didn’t touch that headache and it didn’t improve or go away until I drank coffee.
Oddly, I ate a large bag of mushrooms and got tazed by the cops one night. Ended up in the psych ward. Was able to cold turkey the coffee after that. Not sure if it was the mushrooms or the juice from the tazer.
Yeah, I’m not sure if Vicodin or perc would help a migraine, different pain killers help in different ways. I think opiods are the least helpful when it comes to migraines, if I remember correctly.
I guess I don’t associate caffeine withdrawal headache with migraine as I don’t generally get migraines but tension headaches instead.
The caffeine withdrawal felt like my head was imploding, if that makes sense. Not sure if that’s a migraine or if opioids were making it worse, but the Vicodin I was prescribed absolutely had 500mg of Tylenol in it; and only 5mg of hydrocodone.
A week of this was terrible and it did not improved. I have sense learned to moderate caffeine and often drink tea instead of coffee or even decaf or halfcaff when I want to cut down. I will never try to cold turkey it again.

Vicodin has Tylenol in it
I confirm. Taking opioids against migraine gives you still a migraine, but on opioids. Not recommended.
Vicodin has Tylenol in it
but we’re not talking about migraines.
we’re talking about caffeine withdrawal headaches.
neither of which are 💯 understood but that doesn’t make them the same.
plus, Vicodin has Tylenol in it. so i was taking Tylenol.
Caffeine withdrawal can absolutely trigger migraines, easily.
Not sure about the Tylenol in Vic, but just that opioids in general don’t work well. You can easily Google it.
