Migraines from stims? (My Achy, Breaky Head)

Posted by KarenB on April 29, 2000, at 11:22:38

My head is pounding. This has been going on for almost two weeks now and has gotten worse. It's a migraine alright - I'm familiar enough with the symptoms to know that I don't need to rush to the hospital. But, I just feel like crying because I am afraid it is most probably from the use of Ritalin and now Adderall that the headaches have been triggered. So, here I am once again, probably unable to take that which could help me the most. I am so tired of this. I just want to feel "normal," whatever that is. I trust everyone is with me in this thinking.

When I was taking Amineptine plus Sulpiride, I rarely got a headache. Is this because of the Sulpiride's action or because it completely stopped my menses and therefore my hormonal balance was different (like, BETTER??)? Maybe both? Then, would the addition of a neuroleptic possibly be in order to counteract this headache machine?? My doctor here in Denver can not concieve of why I was ever on a neuroleptic in the first place.

I have been re-diagnosed with ADD with depression and am on Adderall and Buspar. Hard to tell with the Buspar yet but the Adderall certainly helps with energy and focus BUT>>> THE PAIN FACTOR!!!!! I didn't take the Adderall this morning because I am thinking it may perpetuate the headache.

Anybody got anything to share? I feel like I've been run over by a truck. I am getting that familiar, hopeless feeling again.

Karen
