In reply to Lexapro dose related headaches?, posted by JLM on December 31, 2003, at 20:21:33
Hi JLM - After 10 weeks on 10 mg.of Lex, I upped my dose to 20 mg. about 6 days ago. I'm going thru some s/e's again - mainly sleepiness & insomnia, not as bad as the first round tho. However, I didn't have headaches the first time and now I do. They are more like tension headaches than a sinus headache, which I get frequently anyway. So, I'm hoping they will go away in a week or so, like the other s/e's did last time.
I'm wondering, with the headaches, is that a sign that the dosage is too high and my body's reacting? Or is it just an s/e I missed the first time around? I had horrible headaches on Sarafem and quit taking it due to that and other intolerables.
Thanks and good luck to you!!!
