HI I AM 37 YEARS OLD AND 1 WEEK AGO I WENT TO THE DR FOR HEADACH...

I just started 20mg celexa on July 16. Taking 1/2 for 7 days then 1 tablet after. I've had alot of stress over the past year and went to my dr about it in march. I was having alot of headaches everyday. She prescribed me nortriptyline for the stress and reduction of headaches. She also prescribed me Midrin which would be (as needed) onset of headaches, and I must tell you that a combination of the 2 helped me out very well. Check with your dr.about those 2 medications. I just got off the nortriptyline because my dr wanted me to switch to another medication. So now I am taking Celexa and everyday since I have been taking it I have horrible headaches all day everyday, depressed, sad, dizzy all the time, and no sex drive. I told me dr. about this and she said to continue with it for a bit because it is a medication that takes 2 1/2 weeks to reach full results and it decreases headaches and is prescribed for prevention on migraines, and is an antidepressant as well. I'm going to stick to it for a bit even though I don't feel right on it. I'm going to give it a few weeks and if it still doesn't help then I will talk to my dr. about it. I'm someone that is very prone to headaches and even though the celexa is giving me headaches that is a side effect until it reaches the amount of time to start working. I advise you to either try it out for a couple weeks, and if still no results try talking to your dr.again. If not check into the nortriptyline and midrin. Best wishes to you.
