Feverfew is usually used for migrane.

It's anti-migrane activity stems from its anti-inflamitory action, and its serotonin blocking properties.

It blocks 5-ht2a receptors like the tricyclics and atypical antipsychotics. It has antianxiety properties and mild antidepressant properties.

I found that it could augment SSRI's in a similar manner to taking an atypical antipsychotic.
