Yes, it does sound logical - your suggestion of switching to Effexor. I'd be leery of wanting to use an SSRI or SRNI if I really didn't have to. But it's just me as the discontinuation problems go on for many, many months with me. It's worse than hell.

The reason I like Dex is that it doesn't seem to alter your brain chemistry long term like ADs do. It perks your brain up for a while then is out of your system & everything's normal again, that is if one doesn't overdo it & deplete dopamine levels.

Strange how if you tell others you have a migraine, so many will commiserate with you. It seems everybody & their dog thinks they have migraines. Those who do get the real thing know that every bad headache ISN'T a migraine but I don't bother explaining to others. Like you said, it seems to be better accepted telling someone your problems are migraines.

Don't forget regular exercise & fresh air. Somehow it helps too. Take care & enjoy your sweet Wednesdays!
