As for your diagnoses, go to a real therapist. Don't let your neurologist and gynecologist decide what you have.
Migraines are a pain in the butt. I recently got one where I went blind in my right eye for a few minutes. I am freaked. But Serzone does nothing for migraines, and I have never been able to find a drug that does work for my particular ophthalmic migraines.
Can't you simply treat the headaches? I think there's something you're leaving out that would explain why these docs diagnosed you with something other than migraine.
Regarding Serzone, it is a good anti-anxiety drug. If you're having trouble, ask your doc if you can take the whole dose at night before bed.
With me, and with most, there are no sexual side effects, and it's considered weight neutral. The worst it did was give me a little bit of blurred vision at the beginning and dry mouth, which went away when I took it longer. The lowest therapeutic dose is supposed to be 300 mg. But it starts to work at 250 or so, and that's the dose I stayed at for a long time.
It is supposed to be helping me with my insomnia, and has done a good job over the last four years. But I am having problems again and might switch meds, though I can't imagine having to deal with another trial.
Side effects suck, but you have to stay through them to get the meds to work.
Good luck.
