I was wondering if anyone else had experienced severe headaches on focalin xr? It is a new problem?

Hi, I also take focalin xr, 30 mg a day (2 capsules in a.m., 1 in the afternoon). I have been taking this for about 3 or 4 years now, give or take. ( with a few months breaks from it in between) I also experience severe headaches! They start a day or so after I begin my round for the month with the 1st dose. Then, they just get worse, and things just get worse from there. I not only have severe headaches, but my lips break out with fever blisters, and I also get horrible mouth sores from the dry mouth I also experience! it's like playing connect the dots. as soon as I take that 1st dose, I know what is coming the next several days, and I soo dread it. I am to the point that I hate taking the focalin xr now. I hate dealing with the side effects and discomfort, stress, loss of sleep, and buying out drugstores of advil, orajel, and related pains like that. I can't even take advil anymore for my headaches because I now get rebound headaches from it. I don't know what else to take for my headaches now! (that is a whole new issue! that's why I am on here! lol!) The focalin xr worked great for me for the longest time and it still does, but lately, I have gotten sick of dealing with these things every month, and dread having to take it now, that I feel like it's not working anymore like it should. I am going to a new Psychiatrist next month and hopefully will be able to find a new drug similar to the focalin xr without all that mess and stress! I really hope this helps.. If you need more help or have more questions, contact me! :)
