Can Bupropion, Lexapro And Atorvastatin Be Taken Together While Suffering From Chronic Migraine?

i am on multiple meds for chronic migraines. i have vasospastic angina so i cannot take any of the triptans. i am also an two antidepressants and have been since the early 1990 s .MY LIST OF MEDS INCLUDES; Bupropion xl 350mg take one tab by mouth ea morning Qudexy XR 200mg take twice daily, Divalproex sodium 250mg take 1-2 in the morning and 1-2 in the evening lexapro 20mg take one tab daily, atorvastatin calcium 40mg take one ea bedtime, lorazepam 1mg take1 tab daily,promethazine;omeprazole20mgtake 2daily; Amlodipine/besy-benazepri 5/20mgtake one by mouth every day;Baclophen 10mg take one by mouth three times a day;guanfacine1mg take 2mgby mouth every day; glycopyrrolate 2mg take 1 tab by mouth every day; zolpidem 12.5mg take one at bedtime; ketorolac tromethamine 30 soln inject 1ml 3times daily if needed; flonase nasal spray use as directed; hydrocodone/apap 5/325 take one every 6 hours as needed for pain; ProAir Albuterol Inhaler Are any of my meds a contraindicator of the other? How much grapefuit juice is ok? The APRN that I see for mental health prescribes the wellbutrin, Lexapro, lorazepam, and zolpidem. Whenever I see her I have too fill out a questionare. i don t know what good it does because i feel she doesn t look at it. When I saw my PCD this week she showed little to no empathy for why I needed to see her. Her comment to me was You are on a butt load of medicine. Are the amt of meds I m on unusual for someone with chronic migraine? My quality of life would really be bad without these meds. I missed things going on in my girls life and i have to live with that guilt every day. I was acheiving better control of my headaches when I had scripts for the hydrocodone and the butorphanol nasal spray. As I mentioned before,these would increase my quality of life. I could actually get out of bed. Walk across the road and love

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello.

Yes, you are taking multiple medications but all of these do not appear to be prescribed for chronic migraine. You must be having multiple medical conditions. If it is just for migraine, you need to visit a neurologist so that unnecessary medications can be filtered out.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shubham Mehta, Psychiatrist
