This was my life’s story for many, many years! I did every prescription known to man. One day the shrink throws up his hands and says, “I’m sorry, I don’t know what else to do with you. I’m sending you to another shrink.” Okay, he didn’t say shrink. But after 8 years, he dumped me! Anyway, I stumbled on neurofeedback. It’s the only thing that ever helped, after a lifetime of fighting depression. It’s not that widely available, so you might not find someone in your area. It’s like biofeedback, but more advanced. Hope things start to improve for you!

Fireflower: hee! Yes.

I do hope the migraines go away, but they’re definitely hormonal (I get them the day after I start my period every month) so I don’t know. However, it does mean my pregnancy/breastfeeding hormones are FINALLY out of my system, since the migraines have gone back to how they were pre-preg. Only took 30 months (counting gestation).

So far the Wellbutrin isn’t making my all sunshine and light, but that’s a rant for another post. Currently I am keeping my head out of the oven, so that’s good. Especially since we have an electric stove. (I reserve the right to re-use that in my next post, natch.)

Wow. You? Depressed? AAACK!! What does that make me?!

Good luck with the meds. I, like you, am trying to hold out as long as I can without them. I read somewhere that migraines can be a symptom of PPD, so maybe if the Wellbutrin works your migraines may diminish anyway.
