Persistent right sided headache

Brain and nerves

23 F

For the past two weeks or so, I’ve been dealing with a persistent right sided headache. It’s not awful or anything; mostly just obnoxious.

For context: the reason I’m not overly urgent is because I, after a year of taking it, have switched from Strattera (40 mg) to Guanfacine (1 mg). I’ve officially been on Guanfacine for one week now, and tapered from strattera 40 mg -> strattera 25 mg (one week) -> strattera 10 mg (one week) -> guanfacine 1 mg (twice a day)

Alongside the constant headache, I’ve also been experiencing a rebound in ADHD symptoms (mood instability, increase in mistakes, procrastination, etc), so I don’t doubt that this is a side effect

Any insight is appreciated
