I have been on a low dose of Prozac for 2 1/2 years for migraines. I have
very few now and they are very minor. The reason I was put on the Prozac
instead of just taking something at the onset of a migraine was that the last
one I had (before the Prozac was prescribed) left my entire right side (arms,
legs, etc) numb for over a week. When I started seeing the neuro I have now
(the one I really like) she said she would have suggested it if I weren't
already on it because even the low dose can do so much for you. Gosh, I
wonder what the heck I'd be like if I weren't on it??!!LOL
If I go on the Wellbutrin (zyban) to quit smoking maybe I'll be on cloud 9
every day!!??
I used to be so embarrased to admit I was on Prozac and always added that it
was for migraines, even in the doctors' offices. I am finally starting to
realize that what other people think about it is bull*(*%! I know so many
people who are on so many different psych drugs. I admire those people a lot
more than the folks I know who wouldn't dream of taking drugs for anything
other than pysical problems!
Love to all! (I'm on vacation for 2 days and am still too sick to leave the
darn house!)
