A member asked:
I've been off escitalopram (20mg) for a week exactly; is it safe for me to take ibuprofen for a headache at this point?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anxiety, Headache: Escitalopram is a medication for depression I commend you for not taking Escitalopram for a week. Ibuprofen and Tylenol (acetaminophen) help with the headache. Stresses of relationships, separations, school, parents and peer pressure can cause anxiety and headache.
