> Thanks for the responses. I started lamictal a month ago; I've been at 100 for 2 weeks. It always gave me a headache, but it seems worse at this dose.

Of course we blamed Prozac, but stopping it didn't seem to help. Also, I grind my teeth like crazy and wear a mouthguard at night. I wonder if that's from antidepressants. I've heard prozac can cause jaw/teeth grinding.

Most of the serotonin reuptake inhibitor medicines have had
cases reported of tension headaches/bruxism side effects.

One hypothesis is that it may be caused by a possible indirect
reduction in dopamine in a particular area of the brain.
