Michelle,   Elavil, not Aleve. So sorry for the mix-up on your first question.   Always tell any doctor you see about your bipolar disorder. They need to know about it and any medications you take for it. It's even possible that some medications could be used both for bipolar disorder and Migraine prevention.   I can understand why you have an appointment at the University of Michigan, but truthfully, I think getting directly to a good Migraine specialist would be the best way to go. They would take your Migraines seriously, and they're the best trained and most experienced people to help you.   Take a look at the article Migraine and Headache Specialists - What's So Special? If you need help finding a Migraine specialist, check our listing of Patient Recommended Migraine and Headache Specialists.   I know you're going through a rough time.

You'll need to register again once there because it's a separate membership database, but you can use the same member name, email address, and password that you used here.
