Indomethacin and headaches
Hi. My name is Tonya and I'm new to this board. I'm in the USA (Atlanta, GA). I take Indo for Chronic Paroxsymal Hemiacrania as well. I have been taking them for 7 days. This morning I woke up nauseated with a headache (a different kind of headache...almost like a stress or tension headache) and I felt like I had been hit by a truck. It almost felt like a really bad hangover (well, at least from what I can remember from my younger years!) Anyway, I wasn't sure if this may be a side effect of the drug, or I just ate something that didn't agree with me or maybe have a "bug".

Anyone with these headaches (Paroxsymal Hemiacrania) knows that we can have days/weeks with no pain at all. Well, I was on that pain-free period when I started the drug. So I'm still waiting to see if this drug will help with it. I'll know in a week or so when "the headache" is due back again.

I'll say this...I don't know what's worse...the bad headaches or a constant smaller headache with nausea and weakness! UGH!!

Paroxetine
I have been taking paroxetine for almost 2 years straight. The worst thing about starting the drug was a headache at the base of my head. It had me in tears some days! not a good start. I persisted and it took a month for the headache to totally disappear. The other side effect for me was a very dry mouth. I kept wanting to drink water, and the sensation never seemed to disappear. It is something I live with. BUT for me, it is a small price to pay to feel 'normal'. I can lead a happy and fulfilling life, and my 'happy pills' are a part of it. It is a very daunting feeling when you are first prescribed these types of tablets and not something anyone should take without serious consideration. If you want any more information, feel free to contact me.

I have joint pain that my Dr. prescribed Indomethacin 50mg 3 times a day for. It makes me tense and shakey with a background headache and doesn't seem to do a very good job at fixing the pain. Is this a normal reaction? I've only been taking it for 4 or 5 days so far. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.
