cipralex and head aches

I have had head aches on cipralex, and when I drink some or even more then some drinks I get almost sick with a head ache.  1) are head aches common in taking anxiety drugs,

2) any way preventing the head aches.

3) dry mouth is that common with these drugs.

I didn't get headaches from Lexapro, but have started getting them on Celexa, its predecessor drug.  I did get pressure in my ears from Lexapro, though -- seemed to be from jaw clenching, one of its listed side effects.

Your not supposed to drinks on these meds. Yes, headaches and dry mouth are a common side effect.  How long have you been on cipralex??  I think you need to give it time if you just started, more times than not those side effects such as headache will eventually subside.  I wish you luck, is it working for you otherwise?  It takes a month sometimes two to get the full therapeutic effect so give it a chance!  Good luck to you.
