[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 292138, member: 2423"] I have migraines, IBS, insomnia and stress related to difficult child issues. I tried 10 mg Lexapro a couple of summers ago, and it worsened my headaches and stomach issues plus I kept waking up at 3 am and not being able to get back to sleep. I stopped taking Lexapro after 2 months. This spring I tried Cymbalta (an SNRI) with similar results. My understanding from my psychiatrist and neuro is that headaches are a common side effect of SSRI/SNRIs, especially if you're prone to them. I just started back on a combo of low doses of Amitriptyline and Topamax. Headaches are virtually non-existent, and I'm sleeping much better. I personally don't think Lexapro is the answer if chronic headaches are a problem. [/QUOTE]
