See, migraine meds are also serotonergic... it sounds like you are on an awful lot of meds... Have you discussed the meds you are on with an MD other than your pdoc? My family doctor and the emergency room doctors finally had me go off all meds to let my serotinin levels go down and to let my liver detox. I was on meds for cholesterol, blood pressure, an ulcer, migraines plus an antidepressant, anti-anxiety, antipsychotic and a mood stabilizer.. and ibuprofen, muscle relaxants and antihistamine meds as needed..
I am currently off all of it.. taking amino acids and omega 3s, vitamins, only organic foods.... my migraines, the ulcer, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, are all gone. My mood is stable.. the heart problems are gone.. my breathing is the only thing that is still affected, but that is because my diaphragm is partially paralyzed. If I have a manic or depressed episode, the doctor said we will try a mood stabilizer only. I never lost a job, was never suicidal and never had hamllucinations til I went on the meds. To me, the ill effects of the meds are much worse than the illness.
I hope that you can get better soon.. I feel for you. I really do. lk
