[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1793894, member: 41816"] My first suggestion is that you get up immediately and go get a big glass of water. Drink it. Then pour another one, and sip that over the next few minutes. If your headache disappears, then it was mild dehydration. My next suggestion is that you go and get the packaging from your various new prescriptions. Then enter the drug names into this website. [URL]https://www.webmd.com/interaction-checker/default.htm[/URL] It will throw up any known side effects to each drug, AND it will check for interactions between the drugs. I strongly believe that none of us should be starting any medication (on or off prescription) without doing this. But very few people have even heard that such cross checking is possible. Doctors SHOULD do this whenever they prescribe, but I have never known one to do it - so I do it myself. Every time. If any of the searches throw up headaches as a contraindication, then you can go back to your doc and ask to be taken off that drug and try a different one. Good luck, and please keep up informed. :) (also: I absolutely agree with the people up-thread who have said that diet and lifestyle is the biggest weapon we have in the arsenal against type 2 diabetes.)
