I have noticed headaches as well. It started about the same time as the irritability. I am thinking about switching back if this doesn't get better soon!

> I switched from 40 mg celexa to 10 mg lexapro 3 weeks ago, and I feel more prone to headaches and irritability as well. Would like to hear from anyone else who has had this problem and, hopefully, from someone who had this problem but no longer does. Is this just an adjustment problem that I will get over?

Today I was so frustrated at work I started to cry, which hasn't happened in ages. I have also noticed tension headaches the past few days. No new stresses in my life, so I can only imagine its the meds.
