jarn Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 So there is a known link between depression and migraines, so I imagine BP/SZA as well.I'm in the middle of a 10 month depressive episode, currently on partial disability (though I haven't been to work in 2 weeks). Most recent med change to combat this is Lithium, and my blood levels are apparently fine at 900mg.The thing is - I don't know if it's the depression, or what, but I've been getting more headaches and today - migraine. At first I thought it was getting a cold (my husband has one) but this is a 12/10 headache (all day), light sensitivity, blah blah blah. Is there a connection? Has anyone experienced this as a side effect of Li? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiaB Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I never thought of this, and I have no idea if it's cause or correlation, but the frequency of my migraines has definitely decreased since I quit taking lithium earlier this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarn Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 Since you quit taking it? Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crtclms Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 My headaches have remained unchanged, I was already on disability for migraine when I was put on it. As always, YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachael Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I started getting infrequent migraines on Lithium when stressed, I have had some dose adjustments, and I definitely have more headaches on higher doses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
