Date: November 25, 2006 As a result of this I was unable to function normally and was given several different medications with bad side effects. The last medication, Lexapro, which I started taking in June of this year at a low dosage increasing to a normal dosage gave me a headache that caused me incredible pain. Much worse than any migraine I had ever suffered. The pain was on top of my head and I could actually put my finger on the spot as if I had been struck with a sharp instrument. Eventually the headache turned to shooting pains and became unbearable. Dr. Pocurull of the Arthritis & Osteoporosis Clinic- Brazos gave me cortisone injections in my shoulders which relieved the pain somewhat, but three weeks later he had an Alpha-Stim® 100 microcurrent stimulator sent to me in the mail. I then stopped taking the Laxapro and started treatment with the Alpha-Stim®. After about two weeks, I found I had an improvement in my pain level and my energy level. After six weeks from the time I stopped the Lexapro the headache is almost gone and I am feeling so much better. I believe I will not need to take any more antidepressants or pain pills. With this Alpha-Stim® I am confident I will be able to function normally once again without any side effects. |
