I had a traumatic brain injury/concussion last December and I am still recovering.
The worst symptom is that I have been getting headaches. I basically had a mild to severe headache and trouble concentrating throughout most of this year.
The daily headaches have gotten better, but now I am getting 1-2 migraines per week. I am also getting migraines the few days before my period starts.
They gave me Sumatriptan for when I have a migraine, and it works. I noticed that it is a serotonin agonist.
On the days when I take it I feel wonderful. My mood is positive, I'm calm and happy.
My question is, what are the best strategies for reducing serotonin overall?
I had experimented with Benadryl earlier this year and the days that I took it I also had a great mood. It just made me so tired that I couldn't take it during the day, and it left me feeling hungover the next morning.
Should I try to get my doctor to give me a prescription for Cyproheptadine? How would I do this?
I have been working on getting my estrogen to come down. That has been an ongoing issue, but it is tough.
I am on the right track with this?
