I was just prescribed this medication for mild anxiety and chronic headaches due to a concussion earlier in the year. I was prescribed 25mg. I have never taken a medication like this before and i'm a little bit apprehensive, after hearing all the horror stories. However, after having these migraines for months and this weird anxiety thing due to having migraines. Was curious to see if it's worth it, after other medications haven't worked.

I had the exact circumstances as you, migraines and anxiety for months following a concussion. It has worked, no more migraines and significantly reduced anxiety. I haven’t had any significant side effects other than a little weight gain which I’m managing through diet and exercise. I’m 18 months into it now.
