The Tricor that was given to me for high cholesterol gave me intense migraines. I had ordered a book, a health book from Bottomline Books and in there it suggested to take magnesium. I stopped the Tricor and began to take the magnesium and slowly over a period of a week lessened the headaches. I will continue to take the mag every 2-3 hours at 500 mg and see what happens. Hopefully all symptoms will go. I have increased eating spinach and other greens as well. It has also sharpened my mind. I am down to only the Cymbalta and the Provigil now. I have not had to adjust the VNS since July.
I am living with depression. I was implanted with VNS therapy on March 11,2008 and am blogging what experiences I have, not only with the device but with depression itself, and just what depression is. This is to let people know depression is not just the "blues". True depression is a disease, not a mood problem. One can manage the depression with various treatments and I invite you to learn with me as I go through it.

Off of Paxil (Paraoxatine)
Today I have stopped the last of the Paxil. I will see what it does to me. I have also been on Tricor for the past Month. I stopped the Tricor on the 30th of Oct. I was having incredible Migraines. It is connected to headaches. I am supplementing with 500mg of magnesium 3 or 4 times a day. It has helped. But I have had a constant migraine since about the end of the first week of Oct. Intense.
