It's very common to get headaches from oversleeping. If you get them from sleeping a certain number of hours but the only way to make them stop is more sleep, are you sure it isn't that you just needed more sleep in the first place? Or is the way you sleep/your bed giving you headaches? I usually sleep in a comfy bed with a memory foam mattress topper and pillow, and I've been waking up with headaches since not sleeping with it (home for the holidays, not in my usual bed).

As an aside... do aspirin/ibuprofen/naproxen help your headaches? NOTHING ever works for me.
Lortab doesn't even work for me, but I've always had a high tolerance. The best thing I can do is put an icepack on my head and do something relaxing...I like to watch TV or read, but some people it bothers their eyes when they have a headache. Have you tried muscle relaxers instead of the mild painkillers/NSAIDs? You could consider having a sleep study done if it's a big problem for you.
