Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

First, take 4 Advil. Possibly drink some alcohol to numb the pain and to get sleepy. Take Tylenol 3 or something to help you go to sleep.
Then, I try ice while I am lying in bed, moaning. If the ice doesn't work, I try a heating pad on high while I am lying in bed, moaning.
Sometime I try to make up stories in my head about why bad guys have captured me and are torturing me for my secret knowledge..... Hey, anything to add a distraction.
Eventually you go to sleep and wake up and it seems better. If not, time for the doctor.

You might be having a migraine. Concerta (methylphenidate) should be out of your system after two days. However, it is possible that, if your liver is not functioning 100%, it may still be in your system.
If it is a migraine, you might need a triptan (imitrex, maxalt) or a narcotic analgesic (percocet, morphine). Go see a doctor.

I'm a nurse. This is a side effect, discontinue the medication and see the doctor. Their are other medications you can use for your ADD. I hope this helps. You need something strong to get rid of this headache because you had it for too long. Take care.

Drink a glass of tomato juice...home remedy that really works, or even eat a tomato. I know it sounds funny but trust me, you will be happy you did.
