I’ve noticed that Caffeine is used in most headache medicines. Is this any way to help headaches that are caused by many peoples addiction to caffeine when they don’t consume it as the normally do?

How long do caffeine withdrawal spells last?

Once, caffeine didn’t seem to do much to me. But then a couple of years ago I began drinking lots of coffee. Like think starbucks mocha frap, and over the summer i sometimes had 2-3 of those a day. I went cold turkey, and had these horrible headaches. But I’ve never felt the same since, like my head is never as clear as it once was. Are these permanant effects of caffeine? What about if I have a little caffeine, will my previous addiction cause me to be addicted again?
