IS PROZAC CAUSING MY HEADACHES? 
Question: First of all, thanks for providing this service– reading through your website has been a real eye opener! I am a 27 year old female diagnosed with depression at about 16 years of age. I have been on several different antidepressants and am currently on 40 mg Prozac once a day for about 8 months. Two months ago, I began getting four to six headaches a week that no over the counter pain medication can seem to handle. I saw my doctor for this and he diagnosed the headaches as tension/migraine in origin, and I have been on a few different prescriptions for them. None seem to help. I was wondering if the Prozac could be the cause of the headaches? Can you please shed some light on this? By the way, my blood pressure is 90/63, so I know I don’t have high blood pressure. THANKS SO MUCH! Dr. Heller’s Answer: If you had been on Prozac for 6 months and it didnt cause headaches, its highly unlikely that Prozac is contributing to the headaches. The most common causes of your problem would be BPD dysphoria (anxiety, rage, depression and despair), sinus infections, posture problem, TMJ dysfunction (including grinding your teeth), and stress. Treatment options depend upon the correct diagnoses.
