My DW has been having what she describes as motion sickness almost continuously for several months—since discontinuing an SSRI. We've been assuming it was part of discontinuation syndrome. She saw an otolaryngologist yesterday, who's thinking it may be migraine she's had since meno that the SSRI was masking. I asked if he meant silent migraine, but from his answer, it was obvious he had no clue what I was referring to. He doesn't want her taking anything to treat whatever this is. Not acceptable; she's miserable almost every day.

Thing is, she went through meno long before going on the SSRI, and I gotta wonder if it isn't just as possible that the SSRI is the cause, but he's having none of that—denies the possibility.

Regardless, we're proceeding as if it's migraine, and in the process of her starting a migraine log and elimination diet to identify possible triggers.

I'm thinking of telling her to bag the otolaryngologist and see my headache specialist.
