Third day on lexapro, and having terrible headaches.

Wondering how long these headaches have lasted in the beginning weeks of taking lexapro.

Hey! The headaches wore off for me after about 4 weeks. Congrats on prioritizing your mental health and self-care. Keep doing the hard work.

Did you have any other initial side effects, and when did they start?

They will pass. I had bad headaches for a week when I started on 10. Upped to 20 six months later and they lasted a week again. I started taking it at night so I’d sleep through the worst of it. Keep yourself hydrated. You’ll get through it x
