Horrid sinus headache from hell (complete with nausea, yay) all damned day. Nothing's killing it and consequently have gotten next to nothing done.

Really wish I knew of a way to get rid of these for good. They happen way too often.

I don't remember which med the doc put me on as an experiment, but I later found out that it affects serotonin, which is really bad for me. I've been on all of the serotonin-related anti-depressants, and every one of them made me paranoid and suicidal. Turns out that my depression is dopamine-related instead. Went on Wellbutrin and haven't had a single issue with it since.

I think amitriptyline is an SSRI, though I don't remember well enough to be certain; in any event, I have no idea if it works well as an anti-depressant, I just know it is fantastic for me as a migraine preventive!

Ah, Elavil, Wellbutrin, Cymbalta, Paxil, Celexa - all the drug names I can still type without looking, given that they loomed large in my previous work life! I kinda miss them, as now I'm getting different terms with each case, except for legal terms like "undertaking," heh!
