I have a history of stress headaches due to PTSD and I've come to terms with them and have medication to help ease them. Just over a week ago I started getting stabbing headaches in my right temple and now it's going down my cheek bone and occasionally my ear. My meds for my stress headaches (at first I thought that was what it was) aren't cutting it. In order to get sleep I have to take sleeping pills otherwise I wake up in so much pain I can't stand it.
On the other hand I started a new antidepressant the says may cause headaches....I've had needs cause headaches before and this is NOTHING like them. My Dr told me, on the phone, they would go away after a while but knowing I'm not the only one makes me wonder if I shld go to Dr to show him what exactly is going on.
