    Thanks for that reply. It seems I may have suffered from Seratonin Sydrome in the past when I have been on Amytriptaline - I have definately had all the symptoms!

    Steph,

    You're very welcome. With hemiplegic Migraine, you may find that you need to see a Migraine specialist. If you do, let us know. We can recommend some for you.

    Good luck!

    Great. I will do that. I have been wanting to see a specialist for a while but until I registered with my new Doctor last week, I have always been fobbed off when I even mentioned migraine. Most people - even GP's seem to think it is just a bad headache. How wrong they are!!
