> This is a way the heck far and gone out in left field thought, but there's a drug called verapamil, which is used for BP in women sometimes, as a mood stabilizer, AND is used for anxiety, too. It's actually a calcium channel blocker, but it's apparently effecctive enough to be worth a shot.

My gyn is going to talk to my pdoc about it (which pleases me, actually. Get the two experts to figure it out!). I have an appointment to see the pdoc after my holiday.
Also, the medication I take for migraine, Maxalt, is contraindicated with Cymbalta for triggering serotonin syndrome :-( This happened to me once already. As the PMS gets worse, so do the migraines...
I see an overhaul on the horizon. I'd love to try the verapamil and have it do triple duty - moods, blood pressure, and migraine control. My blood pressure has come down to within normal range as I lost weight per my doctor's advice, but it's been a recurring issue for me.thanks everyone, for all your advice.
