effexor and headache

Posted by lia mason on May 4, 2003, at 22:48:09

Hi...

I'm curious what people have experienced with headaches on effexor. I'm at 150--have been here a month or so. I'm experiencing a headache. Any chance raising the dose woould make it better? (Norepinephrine effect...)

Thanks,
Lia

I had headaches for 2-3 weeks when I upped my dose to 150 mg, and have had a headache or two again now that I upped my dose to 225 mg. The headache probably COMES from the norepinephrine effect, so upping the dose is probably not a remedy. Just take aspirin until the side effect passes.
