Clinical Features of Withdrawal Headache Following Overuse of Triptans and Other Headache Drugs
Neurol 57:1694-1698, Katsarava,Z.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Complete withdrawal from headache medication is the treatment of choice for medication-overuse headache. Discontinuation of the overused headache medication, however, results in the development of withdrawal headache, often associated with nausea, vomiting, and sleep disturbances. The duration and severity of withdrawal clearly depend on the type of overused headache drug only.
