Here's something else you might want to consider. The fact that you wake up with these headaches is what jumped out at me. Headaches upon waking up are somethimes an indication that you are clenching or grinding your teeth during your sleep. I used to be a "clencher" and frequently woke up with bad headaches. I'm now being treated for this problem by a dentist. I wear an orthodontic appliance that fits over my lower teeth and basically corrects how my teeth come together allowing my jaw to be more relaxed and forward. (I thought my receding chin was genetic. It wasn't and I no longer have a receding chin). I haven't had a morning headache since about a week or two after receiving my appliance (about 5 or 6 months now).

Headaches are my vulnerability and I still get them for other reasons, but my morning headaches were definitly due to the jaw clenching at night.

Just something else to consider.
Good luck!

> I've been experiencing headaches upon waking for the past several years. I can't say for sure if they began when I began using ADs. Recently, I've begun having them about 3x/mnth (sometimes once a week). They're so debilitating all I can do is go back to sleep. Aspirin doesn't seem to touch the pain. Sometimes they go away by noon, other times I have them all day, but never (so far) more than one day in duration. When I have them, I wake up with them, they never spontaniously just develop during the day. I refer to them as "migraines" because the pain is fairly intense, I also feel slightly nauseaus, and can't stand the light. Has anyone else had headaches like these? I was wondering of they could be med related. I take Prozac and phentermine. Please help if you can.
