In the past 5 years i've gotten up to speed on what's really going on in the world including the money making machine that is big pharma.

in fact, due to depression, i had been on anti depressants for 6 years because at the time i didn't know any better and didn't think about side effects.

now i have come off them and wonder if they have done lasting damage as i have developed consistent migraines and bad anxiety and sometimes panic attacks.

i have been to my gp for these issues several times this year and their response has been a combination of take these random pills and/or to just suck it up, it can't be that bad.

recently i was changed to a pill that has possible side effects of seizures and i have seen numerous people online complain about how horrible it is and i haven't taken any of them.

i just wanted to ask if anyone has any perspective on migraines, is there any alternative to the pill pushing dead eyed doctors? i don't want to put any more big pharma gunk into my body but i'm having a pretty shit time. maybe i should wait it out for half a year and see if my body heals itself?

ps. i have not and will not be taking the clot shot.

thanks for reading. all perspectives welcome.

Research the drugs yourself, no one else will. Some drugs do take a long time to get over after stopping.... I'd rather have a panic attack or a migraine than seizures. The over the counter stuff with caffeine works well for most people's migraines.
