Any meds for migraines safe on while on SSRI?

Posted by Jax on November 5, 2006, at 23:33:20

Hi there

I'm currently on 30mg Paxil (tapered down from 60mg) and 1.5mg of Klonopin (down from 3mg). In the last 3 months I've started having migraines for the first time in my life. After many blood tests, my doc and I have concluded that these have been brought on by the tapering of the meds. (Which has taken 6 months). My doc prescribed Imitrex for the migraines and I questioned if they would interact with my meds, to which she assured me they wouldn't. Luckily I mentioned which meds I was on when I went to a different pharmacy (I was short on time before going away to go to my usual) who told me the migraine meds and my current meds would definitely intereract and I should not take them. I asked the pharmacist if there was anything else I could take (prescription wise - OTC stuff just wasn't working) and she couldn't think of anything.

So - does anyone out there know of a good med to take for migraines while you're on an SSRI?

Thanks
Jax
