Clomid Headaches...

I was moved from 50mg to 100mg, this round of Clomid. I am very familiar with this process and understand headaches are just a part of it. However, these are massive headaches. Any suggestions on how to overcome this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi,
Headaches are a side effect of the drug clomid and this can be very severe and distressing at times. Temporary relief can sometimes be obtained by applying cold packs to the head or by massage or pressing in front of the ear on the painful side of the head. Stress management techniques, such as relaxation and massage, can also help limit pain. For relief of pain drugs like aspirin, acetaminophen or paracetemol can be used. These drugs are safe for use during pregnancy and will not affect the baby in the event of a pregnancy. Hope this helps.
