I do. I get headaches also. Not sure why. I just figured it had to be a side effect.

I do not get headaches after taking Mestonin. If this continues, it might be best to check with your doctor.

There are many types of headaches. I have had migraines since 2012. It took a bit to resolve them.

Best to avoid Botox is the medical recommendation. There are many pills and injections- get one that is both abortive and preventative of migraines.
