Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 51 with spina bifida I recently have been having a problem with mild to moderate depression. I feel this is under control with symbalta and wellbutrin. But for several years I occasionally get these very strange I guess headaches. It is like a very very dull ache with a pressure feeling ONLY in the forehead area. I have gone through many tests showing nothing and feel I am getting knowwhewre with my primary physician and do not know where to turn next. THey are not os much painful as they are EXTRENELY annoying and change my mood dramatically and not for the better. ANy suggestions as to what I can try or tell my primary physician they are very hard to describe to him
These symptoms could be part of depression. Number of patients in depression has somatic concern and somatic feeling. In that case, you can try tricyclic antidepressant like amitriptyline. That would help to control symptoms in better way. You can also try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
Thanks
