Can antidepressants after taking them for over a year cause head pressure.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Headache: Unfortunately, just about anything can cause a headache. Depending on the antidepressant you were taking - this is more or less likely to occur. It's for this reason, that we usually taper them off over a month or two rather than stopping cold turkey. It allows the body to adjust and is a smoother transition for you as well. Hope that helps!
