Suggest Treatment For Headache
name: Jerri(I'm a girl). age: 29 since 09/03 height: 5'2 weight: 91 of a morning and 95/97 daytime. My question: Why would Lexapro help my headaches to never bother me when without Lexapro I get my headaches daily? I've always gotten headaches all of my life. My dad took me to doctors but they never found out why I got them. Sometime between 2006 and early 2007 I went to a free clinic deal and the doctor guy said that he wasn't saying I was depressed but that he wanted me to try Lexapro. I did and my headaches vanished. I took a half of one daily. I stopped taking them though 3+ years ago, I ran out of them. Any help is nice, thank-you so much. -and thank-you for your time. I really appreciate it: ).

Lexapro contains escitalopram which is an antidepressant usually given in cases of tension headache. You need to take it daily and also try out relaxing therapy like yoga and meditation, regular exercise. These thing will calm you down and might help reduce your dependance on drugs.
