Escitalopram/ Lexapro

[rstaffo2]

Does anyone else on here take Escitalopram/lexapro and get bad head aches?

Headaches are a typical side effect of most antidepressants. How long have you been taking it?

[rstaffo2 in reply to Anxiousmermaid57]

About 7 weeks now.

I would think that you wouldn’t still be having the headaches now. I would discuss it with your dr it may not be the right med for you.

I am on Escitalopram-10 since last one year... initial eight weeks were horrible with so many side effects. There was head ache too but not much bothering type.. Wish you overcome soon this
