Then a week after that while minimizing the dose,i got borderline major depression and still do.Its been pretty tough trying to explain why im literally crying over minimal things like the end of a tv series or dropping something accidentally.
Now i have stopped taking amitriptyline and the migraines have kicked right back in plus some other psychotic stuff that i thought were gone.
The doctors have pretty much given up and are considering the underlying factor to be psychological,so do i keep taking the drug and have no migraines or the reverse?View Thread


I am however not doing that due to bad past experiences with them.The blood in stool thing turned out to be a common reaction (33% of users) but no other anti-depressant would be prescribed unless i sought psychiatric helpView Thread

I'm not a medical professional but i have had the same feeling for almost 4 years now leading to other psychotic disorders.Try seeing a trusted neurologist as soon as possible despite having done so already.Most probably you will come to the conclusion that most medications dont work and if they do they pack a big package of side effects.
Its most important to have people around you that know will help you in the case of a migraine attack...Do not under any circumstances ignore side effects especially involving muscles.
I learnt this the hard way and suffered two TIAs (short-lived strokes) that are very scary.I wish you the best on your health and familyView Thread
