I had an interaction between my migraine medication (Maxalt) and the Cymbalta a few weeks ago. Seritonin syndrome? I had to stop taking it a week and a half ago when my pharmacist raised the alarm.

The Lamictal I tapered off of in January because it wasn't working, and pdoc wanted to see how I did without it. What a mess. Tomorrow I see a neurologist about the migraines and what the alternatives might be for controlling them better. This has been a bad cluster of headaches. I'm not scared, but supremely annoyed. OK, I am scared, too. I feel totally out of control of my moods. I still have the headaches to boot.

Meanwhile, my moods are cycling like, um, crazy. Having withdrawal from the Cymbalta. My concentration is shot, my anxiety is distracting, whine whine whine. Pdoc advised - no new medication for anxiety or depression until the migraines are under control. Tonight, the pain is on the right side of my head. It's a refreshing change from hurting on the left side of my head. I feel totally messed up :-(

I don't know why I had to complain about this today. It's no different from the last 10 days. except that it's been going on for 10 days, I guess.
