HI my name is jay i have just joined i have been ill most my life started with chronic migraines then weight problems, which led to most days putting my fingers down my throat finding that a great way to lose weight this has been a way of life, which led me to ibs ,then onto depression and all the things that go with it , not wanting to go out , not wanting to mix with people except family and a great partner , some friends, i have allergies too and have nearly died twice, other then that i am great lol, ihave seen so many people i could write a book, so it gets to a stage where life becomes so confusing and you dont know who to believe or trust, i am on so many drugs i dont know who i am anymore, now the doctor has put me on sertraline, started on 50mg now i am on 100mg, the only problem is my migraines are so bad i can not get out of bed without falling over or being sick , the room spins, i have tried my usual painkillers and that are not helping much, i do not know what to do, this is the second lot of pills the doctor has already changed them once, i hate complaining but i am scared to stop , can any one out there help me or give me some advice i would be truly grateful, kind regards , jaybabes
Are you on migraine medication? Sertraline is for depression and anxiety so I wonder what the benefits will be for you. Have you tried other migraine treatments? Homeopathy? For example.
If Sertraline does not help after 8 weeks I would go back to the Dr. Not worth taking meds just for a be sake of it.
Sorry it has taken a while to get back i am only just getting the hang of this , i have suffered migraines for over 30 years there is nothing i have not taken or gone through, i and my family have spent untold money on trying to cure it, this is what led to all the other problems which led to depression which is why i am on sertraline, but its made my migraines worse, i am vomitimg, and having trouble getting out of bed
HI its me jay babes i joined 8 days ago and poured my heart out and i thought i would have got more people helping me out on this drug i was shocked when only one, so i got in touch with the people instead, only got 2 which was so good of them; but i did find helpful information reading it , and through my family and partner and some helpful friends i have coped, and because i have a love of people , i love helping others i thought joining this i would get a lot more help and make some new friends in the meantime , i hope i so i know its only been 8 days since i have joined so i will give it time, but it would be lovely to hear from more people who suffer from this dreadful illness and how this drug helps or does not
