Thanks Doc! We appreciate the support. How are you doing?

To follow up on DH's situation: At his Saturday appointment, we discussed the drowsiness and that while the headaches were better, they still occurred. The GP discussed some possible follow up testing such as MRI, as well as just switching meds to see if there was a better combination. In the end, DH decided to try adding Zoloft for now. He will stay on the trace amount of alprazolam for the mornings until the Zoloft has a chance to build up in his system. Didn't realize it until I read the paperwork but the Zoloft may have an added benefit in helping with his minor OCD. While it only certain things, he must straighten/clean them daily and he counts under duress.

We do still lean toward the headaches being stress related. No neck pain. He is on his feet all day for his job but always has been so that isn't new. He doesn't use the computer at home and has had his eyes tested recently so eye strain doesn't seem to be a factor.

He does have ongoing work stress in that he works with some "high drama" individuals including superiors so he never knows what the day will bring and he doesn't have any control over the situation when something or someone blows up. There was a change that occurred in January that might be adding to his work stress. It could be that this on top of the death of his dad and a year long estate process have overtaxed his system. Constant cortisol responses may also be causing his current low thyroid numbers.

He doesn't smoke or drink. He has a tendency toward junk food but maintains a healthy weight. He has been actively eating better recently since he realizes diet could be playing a part in the headaches.
