In reply to Bipolar and Migraines, posted by elisha on July 28, 2003, at 13:42:38
There was a thread very recently, probably in one of the last two or three archives, about the relationship between epilepsy, migraine, and bipolar. I'd try to find it for you, but my head is really hurting, sinus infection I think. I don't think the search works that recently.
From what I remember there is a link between all three. I did some research after that and found some interesting links myself on google.
I have been diagnosed with cyclothymia (which is on the bipolar spectrum) and migraines. Many of the mood stabilizers used to treat cyclothymia are actually used as a migraine preventative. Although as I'm sure you know, it's possible to react in opposite ways to any medication.
