I am not a doctor, but I have been seeing a great migraine doctor who has helped me. I was severely depressed and he seems to think I am bipolar, but I am not sure. I don't have major mood swings, but am very irritable a lot. He has me on Oxycontin 2-3 time s a day for headaches and Celexa for my depression. Will put me on a mood stabilizer such as Neurotin soon. Was on Depakote and it helped prevent my headaches, but it caused me to gain a lot of weight. With the oxtcontin I can also take Imitrex, Amerge or MAxalt if needed.
Hope this helps and keep trying!
