The lists of what I've tried is endless, I'm depression isn't causing my migraines... Not feeling well is depressing.

According to what I have read, and experienced, with Topamax, acidosis can cause the loss of feeling, tingling etc. That's why I am taking the Urocit-K. Once I started that, the sensations stopped and I got the feeling back in the side of my face. The drug depletes the potassium in your system. Having MS complicates it for me b/c I wasn't sure if it was the MS causing the symptoms or the drug. But once I started on the Urocit-K and started drinking a lot more water, I was ok.
I have a good neuro, thank goodness.
You are right, not feeling good can be depressing.
