Has anyone had this as a side effect of changing meds or dosages?
I recently upped my Lexapro from 20 to 30, and had the headache I expected for a week or so (had it to start Lex, then when going up to 20).
But now I have a jabbing pain behind my left ear that sometimes reflects onto my left ear's top edge.
From looking at a diagram, it appears to be the posterior auricular?
Or am I getting ready to stroke out?

Um, it's actually my RIGHT ear.

No, I'm not sure at all. I'm hoping others will say, "Sure, that's a side effect of your meds".
I want to know I can ignore it until it goes away. :-)Yes, I'm avoiding unpleasant thoughts of other causes and a never-ending and wallet-emptying succession of medical procedures.
This is the end of the thread.
