Headaches - a possible Help

[Guest guest]

Hi,

One thing that has helped my headaches tremendously is Fluoxetine HCL-20mg

(it's generic for Prozac). The only side effect for me is it makes food look a

lot more attractive but every time we try to wean me off the med the headaches

just kick in again in force. Somehow the med does help...I've confirmed it

actually helps from my doc vs. just covering up the pain,. It prob helps with

inflammation. When we started me years ago on the med I was at my wit's end

with the headaches.

I am going to go to a neurologist in Jan to see if we can get at the root of the

headaches though. I would like to lose the appetite supposedly the med

causes....I love my carbs and that's an addition in itself to get rid of... I

did it once 3 years ago and lost 50 lbs and kept it off for 2 yrs. Now I'm not

working so it's crept back up. BTW, I lost via a very strong carb cutback..The

secret is once you quit eatting carbs (most anyway), your appetite for them goes

way down. And yes I was on the med then too.
