Summary
The person began taking ketotifen on a Wednesday and reported that progressively worse headaches began soon afterward. The headaches became severe enough to intrude on their dreams and wake them during the night, and Tylenol arthritis barely reduced the pain. They said they were not sure what to do about the headaches.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
