I am so desperate for help with an ongoing problem that I cannot get relief for. I was diagnosed in 1997 for Bipolar Disorder 2 with panic/anxiety also. However I have been suffering from migraines since I was 17. My actual problem is the medication Parnate (MAOI) I have been taking for the last 6 or 7 years. Due to all the restrictions and my reactions with other medications I cannot find a medication that will help with the migraines that leave me wishing for death. My other medications are Lithium 450mg twice a day, Parnate 30 mg per day, Clonazepam 1mg twice a day, Inderal 20 mg once a day, Seroquel 100mg at night and then I have Xanax 1mg for breakthrough attacks that I take only when needed. I know my doses are low compared to most people but my tolerance is low and this cocktail keeps me pretty even-keeled. My neurologist has tried many tests and is limited to minimal pain and my psychiatrist is not giving me much help.
Thank you
