Have Serotonin Syndrome twice, Major Depressive Disorder, chronic migraines. Taking Celexa. Cure?
Patient: I have had Serotonin Syndrome twice as I have Major Depressive Disorder , Recurrent, Severe and Treatment Resistent and also Chronic Migraines, plus many other musco-skeletal issues in my neck and advanced stage TMG. I could keep listing diagnises, but wont. I have had an intractable migraine for 4 weeks, so this week my Neuro has put me on 2 doses of 300mg of Neurontin a day. Currently I am taking 20 mg of Celexa , just went off of 5 mg of Abilify and 60 mg of Straterra as I need a break from the side effects. I couldn t get a definitive answer at the pharmacy. Doctor: Hi there, thanks for asking. Many medications should be used cautiously with Celexa. Combination of many medications with celexa can cause serotonin syndrome. Many medications which abort migrain should not be taken with celexa for avoiding the serotonin syndrome. Serotonin noradrenergic reuptake inhibitors also may do this (one of your medications belongs to this class). You can ask your doctor about this issue more. Best wishes
