graciesmum : you explained it very well than the doctors I have seen. These are the things I expected doctors to tell me after listening to my symptoms and then try out the medicines. All they were doing is throwing meds in a standard way. PCS means Elavil first, then keep going on anti-depressants. One Neurologist kept telling me I have nerve pain when I complain about dizzziness, nausea and fatigue. I even written down my symptoms and give it to doctors nowadays. They look at it only for few seconds.

Neurologists don't like if we suggest medicines. I sure going to ask my PCP for Topomax and she is the only one who listens to me and wiling to try. May be my nervous system acting up. Who knows? For some reasons my brain doesn't react well with SSRIs and I get suicidal thoughts, insomnia etc., Thanks for the suggestion.
