Here’s a little background:
I have been struggling with anxiety and depression for a large portion of my life. I was taking effexor, but found the side effects extreme and couldn’t handle it. After several years on this medication I tapered myself off and went cold turkey on no meds thinking the depression had passed. Months later it returned. I am now taking Lexapro (for about 2 weeks) and it seems to be helping with less side effects.

For the last 4 weeks I have been having severe headaches that will not quit. I have been to the ER twice and they ran CT and MRI and found nothing that would cause these and saw my doctor who gave me some drugs that seemed to help for awhile, but didn’t make them go away. I have recently been to a neurologist who diagnosed them as migraines and pretty much eliminated cluster and tension headaches based on my responses to some questions. He has put me on a tapered string of prednisone and gave me a few other drugs besides, but stated that most migraines only last 24-72 hours.

Anyone who watches old movies or TV shows has seen someone, at some time, rub their head and complain about a tension headache.  But, what is that?  Do people still get them?  Unfortunately, the answer is that people do, still, in fact get them.  They seem to be often confused with just a good old fashioned headache.  In other words, one that has no cure or cause.  This just isn’t really how it is, however, and there are certainly many ways to treat a tension headache.
