Hey ladies....I was just diagnosed last Thursday with some kind of PPD...for me it's much more anxiety-based than depression. Nonetheless, I have had a rough go of it lately and am returning to work tomorrow, as well- yikes! I just started on lexapro and am only taking 5mg a day, but seem to be getting horrible headaches. Just curious if anyone else has had this occur and if they went away or did you have to switch meds etc...? Thanks!

Re: Recently Diagnosed...Lexapro?
no headaches, it can cause dizziness. but again, no for me. but man, I forgot a few doses and the withdraws... eeeek. I was acting out in my sleep.
i did better on prozac 10mg for ppd.
I'm on it right now. So far so good, I've been a little nauseous but it's going away slowly. I tend to get tension headaches anyway though.
On a side note, it seems to be working really well for me.
Exactly this for me too.
