What Causes Severe Headache Post Minipress Withdrawal?
I recently had some changes to a medication I stopped recently, I was taking a mini press for ptsd symptoms and also increased my anti depressant from 150 to 150+ 37.5. I stopped the mini press because my sleep has gotten worse. I sleep about 5 hours intermitently through the night. I also have sleep apnea but I do not use a cpap. My sense of smell which I havent had for many years has all of a sudden come back. Also my eyesight has improved. But I now get these intense headaches, Ive had one now since 3am yesterday. Do you think this is a medication issue or has there been some kind of physialogical change in my brain.
oh, the most common cause is the minipress withdrawal causes really sky high blood pressure and this needs to be checked out IMMEDIATELY. So, if it ISN"T the blood pressure, then it is a reason to have a head scan but cancer or other serious problems are quite rare. They ONLY time I've had that happen the person had stroke like signs pop up with the headache, so, the scan didn't diagnose it even when it found it. Not using CPAP causes headache in the majority of people who need it due to a physiological change in the brain due to carbon dioxide
