Migrainelike headache is a sequela of cocaine use. This finding expands the
range of neurological complications of cocaine use and is consistent with
the potential role of serotonin in the development of migraine. In these
subjects, the desire to avoid the cocaine-induced headache eventually
became part of the resolve to quit use.
