Every time I start and suddenly stop antidepressants I get a constant pain on the right side of my head and a shower of constant black eye floaters in my right eye. Sometimes the right side of my neck is also sore. I went to the eye dr. and he didn't see any floaters in my eye. The CAT scan was also clear. So I went to a neurologist and he said it is most likely atypical neuralgia or migraine disorder. Has anyone ever experienced these symptoms? Maybe the starting and stopping of antidepressants trigger chemical changes in my brain which then cause these symptoms. It usually clears up in a few weeks to months. Does this sound like neuralgia or migraine? The pain on the right side of my head and floaters in my right eye are constant for weeks or months. My right eye also waters. It feels as if the blood vessel or nerves on the right side of my brain are sore.

I get migraines every day. Although I have been in and out of the doctors and hospital with thoughts of preeclampsia, they still haven't diagnosed me with it. Tylenol doesn't help at all either. They actually get so bad I can't sleep at night. I asked the doctor about it and all she said was she's not concerned because my reflexes are good. But I'm swollen everywhere. I guess just see what your doctor says Monday, hopefully its not preeclampsia.

could be either. Floaters are common with migraines. Caffeine, spicy foods and stress are triggers for migraines. If you can eliminate these then the frequency and intensity should become less. Barometric changes can also trigger migraines, and you can't control the weather, but you can prepare for it.

Could be a pseudo tumor.
