I don't believe there are any interactions between these two (it's Lansoprazole by the way :)).

It could just be a headache, there doesn't need to be a specific cause..I have got a real thumping headache at the moment!

Ah, sorry for the confusion. :)

No, I take Lansoprazole, something very similar. I had a sneaky peak on the internet though, not a problem for me because I don't have HA. :winks:

I couldn't see that the two meds together would cause problems but having said that, It's always best to ask your pharmacist hun. :flowers:

No, I'm on Citalopram. Maybe your headache is caused by something else though? Could be something as simple as changeable weather or tiredness. :)

I have been on the Lansoprazole for years, no side effects.
Bet you have a headche because you're worried! Take some nice deep breaths, relax your shoulders and a cool flannel/facecloth for across the forehead.
I should take my own advice! :D I'm sure you'll be fine. :flowers:
