Suggest Dosage Of Lexapro For The Treatment Of Headache

What dose of Lexapro should be used to help with my headaches? I take 10 mg. now but am wondering if 20 mg. would be more effective. I have other medications but know that Lexapro is among those that can help my neuralgia headaches. Should I increase the dosage? Thank you.

Hello dear

Welcome to Health care magic family .
I have gone through your query in depth .

@ Lexapro is not the first line of treatment for neuralgia headache , it acts
as supportive molecule to counteract the anxiety , depression portion

@ I do not recommend to increase its dose , rather you require
proper molecule as tylenol ( 500 ) mg to be added in your drug
basket for better control of head ache .

Hope this will help you .
Always feel free to ask further doubts .

Thanks for kind evaluation of my answer .
Regards dear take care .
