Suggest Treatment For Migraine And Headache

I am a 41 year old female, I'm 5'11" and weigh 233 pds. On 4/5/11 I was given 10mg of compazine for a migraine headache I experience, in the ER while I waited for my CT scan I began to feel anxious like I wanted to rip the IV out and run. I explained this to the doctor, nothing was done about it. I went home and started feeling like I was invisible or something it was scary. I called the ER back and she said I was having side effects which were normal and it should go away within 24 hours. For the past two months I have been living in a nightmare. I went back to ER on 4-25-11 because the feelings in my legs and arms wont go away. She saId I was having anxiety and gave me anxiety medicine. It didnt do anything for me but made me sleepy then depressed, although I would still have the same feelings in my legs. I finally was able to see a Doctor and she also gave me more anxiety medicine. I didnt take it because it was making me depressed and not helping my situation. I finally went back to the doctor and demanded to have testing done. I did some research on my own and found that compazine being pushed through IV can cause nerve damage. The doctor has finally scheduled me to see a neurologist and also decided to check my vitamin D and B-12 levels, I am also iron defiecient and asked if she can check that as well. Please help I would like to get my life back, these past two months has been a nightmare for me.
