So, I've just started increasing my dosulepin to 3, after 14 days on 1 and then 14 days on 2.
I think it's had an okay effect on my migraines (I don't think my neuro will agree), but lately I've been getting these weird headaches
They're always on my left hand side, incidentally the same side I keep getting the supraorbital nerve pain
they're located like an inch above my ear, in the place between the corner of my eye and my ear
they feel like I'm getting a cramp in my brain, like a twist of really deep pain that comes out of nowhere and lasts for 15-30 seconds before releasing and then just leaves an ache
kinda feels like a toothache in my head
It's not a stabbing/piercing pain, so I don't think it's an ice pick headache (I've had those too)
and it's not like the nerve pain, so I don't think it's cluster headaches (surely they'd hurt more? unless I'm just used to it because daily migraines have mucked with my experience of pain?)
But I don't know what else it could be.
I'm still taking sertraline, just in the mornings now and the dosulepin in the evening, and that's the only med change I had before this started happening
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this, and what did it turn out to be?
I thought maybe 'brain zaps' because dosulepin is an antidepressant, but I've never had that coming off an antidepressant before, I'm not coming off any of them, and I've never felt them, so I don't know if this is what they're like?
They make my head ache, they make me feel nauseous and sometime I feel it in my neck/shoulder on the left side, but not enough that I'd think it was a muscle spasm thing
Does ANYONE know what this could be, or has anyone felt anything like it before?
I'm still waiting on an MRI appointment, but it's freaking me the math out, man
