Absolutely tho imo Tylenol doesn't work on me at all. I took ibuprofen. It's not good for you but it was the only thing that worked

Hi Bigmarlon. its common on escitalopram to get temp side effects for a few weeks when you start this med or increase the dose. side effects might include feeling sleepy , increased anxiety especially in morning, increased sweating & headaches, but they normally disappear in 2 to 3wks. I've been on this med at 15mg taken in the morning for over 4yrs & it works very well for me for longstanding anxiety & depression. its also important you take this med in the morning (my doc & pharmacist both emphasised this). for headaches, try taking 2 paracetomol plus one ibuprofen after something to eat or half a pint of milk(to protect your tum) the combination often works for stubborn headaches. hope this helps a bit, all the best to you.
