My cipralex has been increased to 20mg and am wondering if there is a connection to the increase in my migraine headaches? does anyone know? Confused

Headaches are a potential side effect of cipralex, and that kind of side effect can pop up when you change your dosage. It may go away on its own after a couple of weeks. It's also possible that it could be making you more susceptible to your Migraine triggers. Headaches are a more likely side effect than increased Migraines.

You should let your doctor know about this.

Hope it eases up.
