Yes, some meds cause rebounds (take too much Cafagot and you'll probably get some rebound), take too many aspirins and there's a possibility you'll get rebounds. Blah, blah, blah.....
BUT I can assure everyone CH is NOT RH!!!! I've read some postings that have referred to RH after taking Imitrex. Everything I've read on this or asked my doc and pharmacist about it, says Imitrex is being used BECAUSE it DOES NOT cause rebounds.
Cafagot (ergotomine) will cause rebounds if it is abused (yes, I've been there done that) but DHE (also ergotomine) does not cause rebounds. Guess we're just damned if we do and damned if we don't.
