Headache/ other side effects
I started taking auvelity a little less than two weeks ago. At first it made me anxious but this doesn’t bother me anymore the anxious crazy feeling went away. I feel much better mentally, I have energy to accomplish tasks I could not do before and I do not feel as sad and mellow anymore.
Unfortunately, a severe headache began around the time I started taking this medication. I am not sure if the headache is a side effect or if it has a different cause, but I believe it may be the medication because of the timeline.
I have a history of migraines that have been under control for the last few years, but this headache feels like a migraine. Pain on one side of my head and on the back of my head/neck (occipital region). Also It feels like my ears are under water and my sinuses are full. I am a bit lightheaded and my visual processing feels slower, I feel a little spaced out.
I do not want to go off of this medication because it has caused significant improvements in my mental health. I have failed a lot of medications because I am prone to getting the rare side effects, I want to know if anyone else had this side effect and if it went away eventually.
Please let me know if anyone has had similar problems and what the outcome was.
