Lexapro: Missed one dose and I have a splitting headache

I know I’m not supposed to double up, but if I just re-adjust the time of day that I take it, will my headache go away? Jesus! It’s a nasty one.

I’ve found that if I take one when I miss it and then take the next when I’m supposed to, I’m fine. And the symptoms that show up when I’ve forgotten to take it almost instantly disappear.

I think that might be coincidental. Go to www.webmd.com* and enter Lexapro for info about this medication in layman’s terms. Headache is not listed as a side effect. I am on Lexapro myself, and I missed a dose once with no effect (ie no headache). I hope your head feels better soon.

*I don’t know if it’s ok to refer to another site this way…

Thanks. I can’t believe I woke up with this beast in my head. I took a 'sprin and it helped for a while. Gotta go pop some more pills.
