Lexapro and Inderol would be my suspects for the lethargy and weight gain, and I can't see how either would help migraines -- unless the neuro is thinking they're mostly psychosomatic.
I vote for a specialist, or at least a second opinion. Provigil might augment the Lexapro, as well as adding energy, if that turns out to be a good choice for her, although it can cause transient headaches for about three months. Bad thing to hear, but it isn't like migraines. More like a too tight headband.
Anyway, good for you for helping her out, and good luck with the second opinion.
Also, most med companies have compassion programs, which provide meds to the uninsured. Needymeds.com will have contact info for most of these programs.
