Hello BuzzLightYear:
I am new here and was not sure if you were asking me (santiago). Anyhow, I did read your experiences
with Wellbutrin and presently with Lexapro. I was
taking CELEXA 40mg., either day or night but once daily. I have been reading good things about LEXAPRO, but have not taken this AD. As a non-medical person, it seems the jaw tension maybe
causing the forehead tension/sensation. It seems to be a good sign that you feel comfortable with mental ability/faculties. However, please check with the Dr., you think best to provide you with
a satisfactory answer you feel good with. I noticed "AYUDA" I speak SPA., Is that what that was? Sincerely, Santiago>
