[QUOTE="Xexys, post: 1308961, member: 47259"] I have an idea what it's like. My wife has been diagnosed with severe depression for over 25 years. It is a disease, a very debilitating disorder that messes with your endorphins in your brain. Your receptors are not accepting the endorphins which causes the migraine headaches. Prosac was/is the number 1 drug to treat this disorder that came out the middle of the '80's and has helped thousands. Nowadays, many more drugs are on the market. You can develop a tolerance to a specific drug and after some time it may not work for you. Self deprecation, suicide, there are many things that "float" through your mind when in this state of depression. Find yourself a psychologist and then find yourself a neurologist for your headaches. With their help, you may find some comfort. It's an everyday battle and I feel for you. This is not a very good thing for anyone to have. Just today my wife went through a Lumbar tap. This is done to see if your brain is receiving too much, not enough or even toxic fluids that travel up to your brain and back down your spine. These fluids are replaced in any 8 hour period all the time. These practices are extreme, but my wife has experienced migraines since she was 7 years old. Most of the time, people don't start getting these kinds of headaches until the middle 20's. I feel so bad for anyone that has migraines or is depressed. It's very tricky to treat both of these conditions at the same time. Many drugs will have side effects and sometimes two drugs will intermingle very badly and put the person in the throes of great depression. Watch what you put into your body and use your insurance and get some help. [/QUOTE]
