I had a severe head trauma w/ a plate and all. Had cycling migraines and reacurring situational deppression. Went on prozac and woke up in the hospital. Tried St. John's to the same affect. Have a family history of bipolar and a lousy childhood so Dr and self agreed to try Tegretal. Migraines went away for first time in life! Got the rash. Migraines came back within weeks of discontinuing.
Went to see a nuerologist who said any seretonin enhancer can trigger micro-siezures and flash-triggered siezures. My scar goes to the stem -- its not from something as simple as a concusion.
Went on a Depacote micro dose. No migraines, still have a crappy childhood. 2 years on dep -- weaned off -- no migraines. Still prone to mood cycling and depression. Still PTSD with a well developed flinch reflex. Migraines are rare now ;>
