OKAY. So, I'm reporting back from the neurologist and the psychiatrist. First of all, the neurologist was shocked that I had been allowed to take Imitrex daily in order to deal with the head pain. He told me that taking it daily like that is known to cause recurring/rebounding headaches that often escalate and get much worse. So, chances are, that's what I was feeling this past Saturday and all this past month! Ugh.
He wasn't able to give me a clear diagnosis, but thinks that it could be migraines or could be neuralgia. He says it's always hard to determine with head pain.
In the meantime, he prescribed me Topamax, and I took my first dose last night. Maybe it's just the premature placebo effect, but I feel good this morning! (Also it's Friday!) I can't wait to get going into the next few weeks and see what kind of an effect it has on me.
My psychiatrist and I bickered a lot yesterday about reducing my Prozac (he wants me to get off of it, I don't), so that wasn't pleasant, but I'm going to stay on it for now at least. I don't want to change too much at once.
But overall, I think it's a good update! I feel good this morning. I'll be seeing the neurologist again in a few weeks to check up on how I'm doing with the Topamax and we'll go from there! Thank you for the support everyone!
