I am frantic and very agitated. On sunday i took a whole lot of pills trying to get rid of the migraine and extreme agitation. I spent the day and a half in the hospital. I have had migraines for over 50 years and i thought i knew almost everything. But the depression and the pain is never ending. I have read almost all the forums and info on this site but the problem is that the doctors won't prescribe the non-narcotic meds. They believe they don't work. I have tired a new specialist and all she can offer me is occipatal nerve block and botox. I am so angry that i want to scream. With all the meds out there, there has to be something that works for me. After all this time I have tried so many drugs that i have boxes full of them. I have a heart condition so that alleviates a lot of meds. I live in arizona and the quality of care here is awful. I am thinking of check myself into a outpatient program in chicago to help with the depression and the migraines. I am a very intelligent person but right now i feel really stupid and unable to cope with this. If there is anyone who is out there and can offer me some help, please respond. Thank you, I'm sorry if i seem so angry.

I know this site is very helpful for so many people. I have reviewed all the meds in the meds section. Many I am already on....please please help

Oh my, I dont have any advice for you just some positive thoughts and prayers. I know it has been a few weeks sence you posted this so I hope you find my message. I dont know if you are a religous person or not, I foud a scripture that I hope my help you find some comfort. Psalms 46:1" God is for us a refuge and a strength, A help that is readily to be found during distresses" Sometimes our pain is so deep that we loose ourselvs in it. But no matter how dark our world becomes we can have hope. Hope that someone remember who we really are, not the person this sickness has turned us in to. I want you to know that right now I am imagining the real you. A intelligen woman who has so much to offer. The fact that you have been struggling for 50 years, tells me you are STRONG your medical issues have not beat you. You are still looking for help, your Perseverance is outstanding. I read your other post about the trip to see a new Dr. When I saw that you were concerned about being a good house guest while staying with your sister it told me so many wonderfull things about you, you are Loving and Conciderate. The fact that you were helping out your sister in law while you were ther tells me you are Industrius. I want you to know I will be thinking of you,the real You.

Hi! Firstly, please know that I am not a Dr. nor am I an expert however, I too have suffered from Migraines and Depression. During my younger years I suffered from Migraines on a regular basis and the crippling pain, nausea, etc. were so awful that many times I felt I would rather be dead than suffer like that. On the plus side, as I grew older, the Migraines became less and less and the severity was reduced emensley. My Dr. gave me Fiorinal (a barbituate) and I will say they worked like magic for me. It has been several years since I needed this drug and now Advil Liquidgels seem to work really well for me. I also have suffered from Depression most of my life. I am quite certain both my parents also suffered from depression however, back in the day, people did not speak of this and they certainly did not go to a Dr. for treatment. Back then, people would have thought they were crazy if they went to a shrink and you certainly did not admit there was anything wrong with you. Good thing this is no longer the case. I take Effexor and Wellbutrin daily and I function as close to normally as anyone else. I used to go for counselling however, I'm doing much better now and decided I no longer needed to see a therapist. Everyone is different so, I'm not saying this is right for you but, maybe you can speak to a medical professional about a treatment plan designed for you. Good luck!

Thank you for your reply. I am and have been in therapy since the last incident in January. I had another one in September. I think that i am dissociating from chilhood truama and that the migraines and depression are also stemming from this. So i am currently trying to find someone who specifically deals in this. Not so easy where I live, but i keep asking everyone i talk to and i get some referrals here and there. Nothing has panned out yet but who knows one will. I definitely know i need treatment. And now they have me on meds that just keep me flat...i have no emotions and i'm not crying all the time anymore which i guess is a good thing. i would like to think that someday i could get off these meds but i don't think that''s in my future. thanks for your advice and reply.
