Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Very severe headache could be due to cerebrovascular injury ( stroke) especially after taking speed.
This is how you should go about it

1. Keep yourself well hydrated with plenty of plain water
2. Tab acetaminophen three times a day will help you with the pain. A more potent drug would be diclofenac for the headache however that requires a prescription
3. using speed again might worsen the pain
4. if the headache persists even after taking painkillers then please approach emergency room for a cat scan

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back
