What Causes Headaches While On Hydromorphone?
I had a knee replacement recently and was given Hydromorphone for pain. I have finished the supply after cutting the dosage to 2 a day about 2 weeks ago. I was on it since my 4/24/17 surgery. I have had headaches every day for about 2-3 weeks every day. Could they be a result of going off of this medication? Thank you. Diana Stone YYYY@YYYY
