Q: Tension Headache for 9 days

So i've had this F-ing headache for 9 days now.. and its killing me. I went and saw my family doctor and he gave me Butlbtl/Apap/Caff pills and they help but the headache always COMES BACK. I wake up generally around noon, i'm usually pain free until about 4 PM and thats when i usually pop 1 or 2 of these pills because my head/neck really starts to hurt. I take another one usually around 9 or 10... and i get to sleep around 3. I usually sleep fine.
Today i had some acupuncture on my neck to see if it helps.. it felt allright for a while.. but my appointment was at 1 so my head doesnt hurt then usually anyway. I decided today was the day i'd try and go without taking these pills, because i read that the headache can sometimes rebound because of these things. It was the most painful day ever. Has anyone else ever had this problem for this long? I'd do anything to get rid of this pain.

Update
woke up today pain free, but i could still feel the pressure from the headache.
had acupuncture at 3:30 and i felt fine after that until about 5 PM and my headache came back in a very big way. right now i'm in a heck of alot of pain.. i had to take some of those painkillers, but it's been about 40 minutes since i've taken them and they havnt had any effect. I'm worried now, i don't know what else to do. acupuncture, medication, relaxing techniques, rest, massage... i've tried everything.
