Painful headaches after using shrooms.

Around the end of my trip, I always get a headache. I've used shrooms twice and both times resulted in headaches afterwards. After my first trip, I woke up the next day with a very painful headache. After my second trip, I've had headaches for 3 days straight, I'm on my 3rd day now and I still have a headache.
I've read that this happens to a few people. I've talked to my friends, and they say it's never happened to them.
Any advice on how to prevent or stop these headaches? I've been taking ibuprofen, but the headaches still return.

Do you eat mushrooms on an empty stomach? Make sure you eat healthy the day of the trip and the days after, a lot of fruits.
99% of the time people are just dehydrated. I had the same issue, and I didn't think I was dehydrated, I drink sports drinks and tea all the time. Turns out of was still severely dehydrated from not drinking any pure water at all.
So, eat a healthy meal, and drink loads of water your headaches will be gone by late today or tomorrow.

I get up the day after with a piercing head ache and i do drink more to try and avoid it but still seems to happen, only from shrooms though. Usually passes once im up a few hours, but theyre pretty bad.

One time I stayed up all night tripping and by the time the sun was coming up my head started pounding I blamed it on the shrooms just because they were dried poorly and tasted bad, but lately I feel like it has to do with how well you are taking care of yourself

During the experience, the body disconnects from its biological needs, so you can actually glide through the experience happily whilst your body is actually in a state of thirst.
As much as it might be a task, try and wake yourself from the state to grab a good few mouthfuls of water from a pre-prepared glass.
It's likely your headache is just a result of brain shrink through dehydration.

Reading others comments although some may be true, i dont think everyone knows what you mean by headaches. I get them pretty much 80% of the time I do any psychedelic. i don't think its necessarily had much to do with being dehydrated, or hungry or any of that. But my theory behind headaches after tripping is the simple fact that your mind was just put through a marathon. Any psychedelic puts tremendous stress on your brain, theres a lot of activity going on up there. im personally surprised more people dont get headaches. One thing i'd like to note also is that ive noticed headaches becoming more common as my psychedelic use progresses. Probably just fried all my brain cells lol

I also more often than not get very painful headaches the day after, and even several days after. Its annoying when i want to trip but the hangover is just too much; easily worse than alcohol :/ In my case im sure that it IS dehydration, but i drink alot during my trips. During the last one i atleast drank 1L/h but i still wound up with a headache the day after.
Funny thing is that it doesnt happen with LSD. The day after LSD id say i feel better than a random sober day

Another thing to consider is sinus headaches. Mushrooms for me at least cause a good bit of sinus discomfort, eyes watering, running nose, and usually people tend to snort the runny nose back up instead of blowing it out.
Doing that for a good 4-6 hours is bound to cause a headache.
