> Hi, I am also new to this board. Two months on Lex for GAD - with all the SEs everyone has mentioned, especially tension headaaches. Went to 15 mg and now back to 10mg (to relieve headaches); take in morning (moved from evening). Slept great at first, and now I wake up around 3-4am with difficulty returning to sleep. Experience periods of lethargy during the day, esp morning. Am also on 2mg of Klonopin which has been getting less and less affective.

> Tim47Hi Tim,
I'm getting the tension headaches, too. I've been using a generic analgesic ointment (like Flexall or Bengay) on my neck and upper back for the muscle tension. I also take Robaxin when needed - it's a prescription muscle relaxant. The combination has been working pretty well.
