The first mood stabilizer I was on was lamotrigine ... Took for over two years, then realized it was causing more suicidal thinking than I had ever had without it. Many meds do that to me ... Lyrica, nortriptilene, Lexapro, topamax. That is one reason I was so hesitant with lithium.

I have never tried feverfew, but have heard both it and butterbur can be quite helpful. The Elavil is a good tip, thanks! My neuro recently sent me to a migraine specialist several hours away. She was great, had a couple med ideas we are working through, but main recomendation was MBSR. It has helped!
