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.

I have migraines and take tylenol and ibuprofen together (just buy a bottle of each). Friend of mine is a new migrainer (just hit 40) and he uses marijuana edibles with great success. Consider edibles- find a dispensary and experiment with kinds and doses. You may find it works for you.

is it the THC or CBD that helps the migraines? pot can be illegal in a lot of places but CBD is cleaner since it produces no high and just medical effects

My friend uses low dose thc edibles (he's disabled and can't afford cbd!). Some of the stuff he uses does/have different effects; some make you sleep some don't, some help with pain or anxiety- some others do not. Whatever kind helped my friend a lot with chronic severe pain too, so I'd recommend giving it a shot if you live somewhere that has a legal dispensary.

CBD saved me from being bedridden from seizures. Even traveling to a neighboring state is worth it.
