Isn't it scary to see all the side effects these medications have, then think of the other medications that are not in the psychotropic category! I just spent the last 8 months experiencing profound vertigo, dizzy spells, visual auras all pre migraine episodes. Dizziness sometimes 3 times per day but something every day times 8 months. Finally decided to drill down on the cause myself because ENT was of no help and Neuro Nurse Practitioner wanted to start me on a anti-depressant. I was depressed yes but BECAUSE I was having vertigo etc. Dug into the research and lo and behold found the culprit! I had been placed on Eliquis to replace Warfarin mainly as a method of ease and not having to monitor lab work. Stopped Eliquis on 8/8/2024 and have had not one episode of vertigo, dizziness and/or visual auras thus no migraines either. Scary enough to not want to take any medication at all.

Good on you for getting it sorted yourself !!! It’s absolutely crazy what is being handed and , that’s not looking at the whole picture !!! Of course you would be getting depressed feeling like that everyday and it’s like throwing oil on the fire giving you that, without trying to get too the root cause.
Hopefully all of us having these conversations will give at least one person, a greater perspective and more information to make decisions for their own health, without feeling pressured into taking something that may not be right for them 👍
