I had hit on my head 6 month back and got head ache. Doctor advised to take Eptoin 100mg/day.I took this tablet three days after that head gone and didn't take this medicine. After 4 month i got severe head ache, have taken hand ache medicine but no relief. After that i took Eptoin again, full relief from head ache on next day. if i didn't take eptoin one single night, the next day i get severe head ache. i feel dullness if i take Eptoin.. I went to another doctor and was advised to take trytomer 10mg, but it is not full relief from head ache. please help me out from this head ache.
