Abstract

We report two patients who developed a prolonged featureless headache, they think after a drink was 'spiked'. We speculate that each was exposed to scopolamine, resulting in enhanced trigeminal release of vasodilator neuropeptides, including Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP), and thus the headache.
