Hi,
I'm wondering if any of you suffer from migraines and are also being treated for depression? I get migraines up to twice a week when it's at it's worst (and sometimes I am migraine free for a few weeks at a time). I have been on Relpax for about 8 years. Anyway, a few years back I was put on Prozac and then had to stop taking it b/c you aren't supposed to mix SSRI's with elitriptans. And the doctor couldn't seem to find anything compatible, so I just quit with the antidepressants. Fast forward...just saw a new psychiatrist a week ago and he prescribed Zoloft. He says I can take both drugs together. Started the Zoloft. Got a headache on the third day, and because I'm paranoid about drug interactions, I double checked and it said "serious interaction"...for the same reasons of the Prozac. ??
Also, my neuro some months back prescribed me a beta blocker to try out for the headaches and then I found out it was the ONE drug I can't have on Gylenia! And the neuro is the one prescribing that too...you would think he would have known about that.
Anyway, I'm just wondering if anyone out there has depression and migraines and what your doctor prescribes for the two issues.
Thanks!
