Hello all!! :wave:
Just wanted to let everyone know this. I went to an opthamologist about my long lasting head pain. I have had it for 2 months straight now. My family doctor had put me on anti-anxiety meds. That was the cause of my head pain! The op said that anti-anxiety or antidepressants cause your eyes to dilate. He said it is not enough to do any damage to the eye. It is enough to let alot of light in. Which, was making my head hurt! It was just enough light to keep my head pounding constantly. Most drugs don't have dilation of the pupils as one of the side effects. It might say headache. That doesn't explain why some headaches aren't really going away. Mine was constantly hurting for way too long. Way too hard to function somedays. You all know what that is like!!
Anyway, just thought I would share a little info!
Take care everyone! I hope your pain eases up some!
