Just started taking Klonopin for panic attacks and after very first dose now have severe almost migraine-like headache. Anyone else have this problem?
Severe headache with Klonopin? or Migraine with Klonopin? Anyone?

Hello crispy63. Headaches are a side effect to taking Klonopin. Its considered to be a normal and common one. If it doesn't ease up, (usually this type of side effect will stop altogether the longer you remain on the drug) you might see your doctor and what your options could be. As I said, though more often than not, it will stop. Regards pledge

Thanks so much for submitting an answer. My daughter just took her second dose. She is only taking the Klonopin when onset of panic attack symptoms first appear and just started on it last night. Thought about calling the doctor, but are going to wait and see how the next few doses go. Thanks again.

You are very welcome. I hope she does well on the drug and that the headaches do ease. Have a good week.
