Hi Guys,
I am a GAD sufferer and have also developed tension headaches. The squuezing band feeling around my head whuch lasts all day and is really wearing me down. I've been put onto a trycliclic Dosulepin and to be fair noticed a reduction in my morning anxiety - which would lead to full blown panic attacks almost immediately. I am also on them as Tricyclics are suppossed to be great for people who don't have anxiety yet suffer from tension headahces. Has anybody here found their medication helped with their headaches. Doctor has said it could take a few weeks till I see improvement. I am also worried as most people seem to be given amitryptaline for headaches and wondered if I should have been given that?
Thannks,
Lou
