Headache in the mornings

3 replies

user1490806299 · 20/09/2017 16:16

I have been waking up with headache and drugged feeling lately. I am on heavy psychopharma medications but there hasn't been any changes since march. I feel really drugged. The headache continues during the day but the drugged feeling goes away. I also suffer from tiredness or rather my brain starts to switch of during lunch time. I am not particularly tired but I have problems to keep eyes open.

I don't know if he meds are the problem or is this something else.

Have any of your meds changed brands lately? I noticed when the pharmacy changed my Mirtazapine for a different manufacturer, i felt terrible, headaches, insomnia, dizziness, all i recognised as withdrawal effects that i had suffered with in the past. I know the active drug is supposed to be the same but i definitely didnt imagine it. I always ask now for my regular brand before the prescription is made up. Just an idea.

Has anything changed, eg, sleeping environment? Any chance of carbon monoxide probs? Do you clench,grind teeth at night?

Dehydration?
Big glass of water with lemon before breakfast. .

Yes, withdrawal sounds what I have. I checked my medications and the ones that are generic are brands I have had previously without problems.

I don't think I am dehydrated as it isn't that hot and I drink the same as usual.
