Thank you Racee and Gus.

Racee, what you describe is it to a "T". I do think that sometimes she takes too many pain meds. But other times, I am with her non stop and I see that she hasn't, yet it hits. I think it't a combination, of migraines and the meds.

She was on Topa and Cymbalta to control the headaches but she didn't take them regularly like she was supposed to. Plus they were cost prohibitive, so she stopped. I think the meds helped. Her neurologist has her on Cymbalta and Abilify and we can afford them now, so we'll see where that goes.

I will check out the forums you recommended. It helps to hear that there are some viable causes for her issues. I just need to know that there are still things we can do to help her, before I go a little more nuts!

As for the depression, yeah, she is still depressed without the migraines, but she acts different... doesn't get the "drunk" behavior or the anger, just sadness and crying. I have questioned if she may be BiPolar. Prior to the "drunk" behavior, she will sometimes go for days with very little sleep. Then crash and burn. But she is scared to death of that diagnosis so she won't bring it up to her doc. Next time, I'm going with her and I will bring it up.

Thank you again! This is very helpful!!!
