In reference to a prevous thread I started questioning calcium's role in headaches & depression, I just wanted to post a follow-up.
After over a month off the calcium containing supplement, off the Ester C (calcium ascorbate) and pantothenic acid (calcium pantothate). I took the calcium supplement again today.
Result: Previous month - no headache or an occasional mild headache (which I attributed to the jaw-clenching and neck stiffness from Celexa), & no depression. 3 days ago halved my Celexa dose, less jaw clenching, no headache at all.
Today, within 1 1/2 hours of taking the supplement I had a raging headache that pain killers did not touch and a "draggy/low" feeling.
Still have the headache 12 hours later, draggy feeling lifted.
I'm now sure Calcium (carbonate & ascorbate) causes this for me. I'm just not going to take it at all.
Thanks for listening.
