Re: Loosing my mind on Lex? - Headaches !!

About 6 weeks ago after a long slow tapering, I stopped Effexor XR, and now am taking Lexapro 5mg and Wellbutrin 150 XL each day.

But for last two weeks I have had really bad headache in back of my neck. I don't think its from stress beause that isn't a factor right now. I'm waking up at 4am each day with the headache and after heat pack and Advil's it usually goes away (sorta).

Today I decided to try and move my Lexapro from mornings to later in the day thinking that was causing the awakenings. At 10:15 am this morning I was still aching and decided to take the Lexapro now instead of waiting until noon.

Guess what? About 15 minutes after taking the Lexapro (unless it's my imagination), my headache stopped!

Any amatuer psychiatrists out there?

Wondering if I'm still having after-effects of a year of takng Effexor? Any other ideas?

I'm beginning to think that getting rid of headaches is more important than getting rid of depression!!

ARGGGH!

(thanks for listening....)
