headaches

I got knocked down by a migraine on Saturday.  I know it was stress-related.  Last week was rather a bitch and my body tends to wait a day before flattening me out.  I slept most of the day, moving from my bed to my chair when my back started screaming at me.  At one point in the chair, Boris was laying across my neck; it was the first time that day that my head didn't hurt and I remember thinking he was a miracle.  I also remember being hot.  Having a stress migraine this early into busy season does not bode well for me.  I may have to talk to the doctor about getting some meds to have on hand.  I hope there's something other than Imitrex that doesn't interact with Effexor.  Imitrex just makes me puke.  Not a good topper on a migraine.

I may also need to talk to the doc about upping my Effexor.  I've been in a bit of a funk lately and it's not productive.  I feel stuck (because I am stuck) and it brings me down and sucks out the will to do just about anything.  Not so good.  I worry about upping the Effexor though--I'm at 150mg right now.  I suppose I could up to 225mg, but that means two different types of pills, which often means twice the copay.  If I up to 300mg, I'm at the max.  And if that doesn't work, what then?
