HI darren.

THANKS FOR YOUR QUESTION.

YOU ARE A KNOWN BIPOLAR TAKING LITHIUM AND SEROQUEL AMONG IT YOU CAN TAKE TRAMADOL FOR HEADACHE WITHOUT ANY HARM.
BUT NOWADAYS TRAMADOL NOT USED IN MIGRAINE AS IT IS A OPIUM GROUP OF DRUG HAVING ADDICTION POTENTIAL SO IF YOU USE IT YOU BECAME ADDICTED SO BETTER FOR YOU TO CONSULT A NEUROLOGIST OR PSYCHIATRIST TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF YOUR HEADACHE-MIGRAINE/CLUSTER/TENSION TYPE OF HEADACHE THEN HE WILL PRESCRIBE THE DRUGS IF YOU HAVE MIGRAINE THEN HE WILL SURELY GIVE YOU SOME DRUG FOR PROPHYLAXIS AND SOME DRUGS FOR IMMEDIATE PAIN MANAGEMENT SO PLEASE TRY TO AVOID TRAMADOL FOR MIGRAINE IN THIS 21 ST CENTURY.

BEST WISHES
