Hello,
I've been suffering from anxiety from more than 3 years and have been on medication since 2.5 years.
I started with 20mg Escitalopram + 1mg Xanax and gradually reduced to 10mg Escitalopram and 0.25 mg Xanax. Then about 2 months ago I did of Xanax, without much trouble. Now I'm trying to get off Escitalopram as well. I have started to take 10mg once in two days, but the last 3 days didn't take anything.
As expected I'm feeling anxious, but what worries me more is that the last 4-5 days I have woken up with headache and last two days with nausea as well (as many of you know, morning headache + nausea = BT). Probably it's a coincidence and doesn't have to do with getting off Escitalopram, but I would like to ask if headaches can be one of the side effects of it?
Thank you
