A member asked:
What can i take for headaches brought on by escitalopram? i've seen some places that tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen aren't the greatest but i'm just not sure.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If headaches are: from escitalopram then they should stop occurring within a few weeks. If they persist and are intolerable and if Tylenol (acetaminophen) and ibuprofen (both of which are fine for you if you tolerate and respond to them at appropriate doses) are not providing relief then discuss with your prescriber as escitalopram dose may need adjustment or an alternative medication considered. Best regards for relief.
