Have Serotonin Syndrome Twice, Major Depressive Disorder, Chronic Migraines. Taking Celexa. Cure?

Hi there, thanks for asking. Many medications should be used cautiously with Celexa. Combination of many medications with celexa can cause serotonin syndrome. Many medications which abort migrain should not be taken with celexa for avoiding the serotonin syndrome. Serotonin noradrenergic reuptake inhibitors also may do this (one of your medications belongs to this class). You can ask your doctor about this issue more. Best wishes

Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I understand that you must be going through a difficult time with your multiple problems. You have mentioned that you are on SSRI anti-depressants (Celexa) and that you have been recently prescribed Neuontin by your Neurologist, but you haven't clearly mentioned what your specific question is.

Neurontin is Gabapentin - which is a GABA analog. It has been found useful in the treatment of chronic neuropathic pain. It is also claimed to have a role iin the prevention of migraines, though this hasn't been proven definitively. It is a relatively safe medication and does not have any signioficant interactions with Celexa.

Wish you all the best.
