I have been on SSRI meds for 11 years for panic/anxiety disorder. Prior to onset of that I had migraines. I recently attempted to stop my SSRI and was tapered off way too fast, over a 2 week period from Lexapro. I reinstated after 4 weeks off to stabilize so that I can taper of correctly. (eventually) I went back to celexa which I used previously at 20mg back on for 15 days now. I also take xanax 0.5 mg 4 times daily. I am no stranger to migraines or its treatment however, I have had a constant migraine for over a month now with loss of feeling, vision changes and weakness on the left side. Dr wants to start me on Depakote 125mg twice a day. My liver enzymes have not been checked. I am having an MRI. I am wondering if I should try the depakote in combo with my other meds or not. My ultimate goal is to get off the SSRI, well, all meds realy. I am pretty sensative to anxious side effects. Can anyone offer any advice? I am just worried about taking more meds. thanks Erin
