What can result from the overuse of most headache medications?

Sleep disturbances

MOH (Medication Overuse Headaches)

Medication Overuse Headaches (MOH), also known as rebound headaches, occur when someone uses headache medications too frequently. This causes a cycle where the headaches initially disappear but then return, leading to increased medication use and worsening of the headaches. This makes B the correct answer because the overuse of headache medications, or any medication for that matter, can lead to MOH. Option A and C are incorrect because while sleep disturbances and memory loss can be side effects of some headache medications, they are not the result of overuse. Option D is also incorrect because there is no evidence that overuse of headache medications increases appetite.
