What you need is to smoke a couple of joints and get rid of that medication.
I'm serious.
Marijuana is useful in kicking headaches, increasing blood flow by expanding
the arteries, and you get to feel good. Once and a while for medicinal
purposes, my father used to say.
I am not taking any medications right now and do not have any headaches.
I have taken marijuana twice, while a Ph.D. student at Caltech around
1975. The first time was at a bachelor party for a fellow student one Friday
night. I like sweets and cakes a lot and started eating some brownies. They
tasted a little bitter to me and I had no idea why, but kept eating them
anyway. At the end of the night the other guys told me that I had to pay
something like $10 or $20, because I had partaken of their marijuana-laced
brownies. It sounded exorbitant to me, because for my own habit, ice cream, I
used to pay about just $2 for half a gallon at the supermarket at that time.
Anyway, the next morning I went jogging, as I used to back then, and felt
myself floating effortlessly for lap after lap. I was really high and it took
me the whole weekend to get back to normal.
A few weeks later I was with these same guys in one of the dorm rooms and
smoked some pot, aware of what I was doing this time around. The effect was
not great and the fact that I had to pay a lot of money, as far as I was
concerned, made me stay away from that sort of thing ever again.
As part of my obsessive-compulsive profile, I also happen to be a
notorious tightwad. I do not seek treatment for my obsessive-compulsive
behavior because it helps me save money and keeps me focused on things that
really matter, such as the connections between Prince Otto von Bismarck and Ms.
Heidi Klum.

Wrong diagnosis, me thinks.
Lithium is for manic depressives and sociopaths.
You are definitely manic, but perhaps not bipolar..
Before taking Prozac for a few months in 1996-7, my normal mood was
mild
depression. This, along with my obsessive-compulsive predisposition
towards
eating, seems to have caused my great weight gain from 175 to 225 lbs. I
had
brought my weight down to about 180 lbs on my own, before taking Prozac,
through an obsessive-compulsive diet regime of my own design, but this led
to
severe migraine headaches.
The Prozac treatment did away with the headaches and allowed me to
remain
at the lower weight of about 180 lbs. I have read a lot about how
serotonin
works and been able to keep my physical activity level high, to keep
serotonin
increased that way. Therefore, my weight loss became permanent over the
last
six years.
Now, my normal mood is mild elation. My great investigative
successes,
through the help of the Holy Spirit, and my relationship with Ms. Heidi
Klum
keep me excited and looking forward towards the future.
The improved understanding between Heidi and me over the last four
months
or so has led to a further weight loss, down to about 170 lbs.
anyway, SSRIs are old hat. Thanks to the Viagra Nobel Prize,
they now have NOAIs - nitric oxide activase inhibitors..
NO is now believed to be the "primordial mammalian neurotransmitter"..
Dr Kostis of Rutgers/UMDNJ once said he was reviewing a paper that
claimed Viagra is better than Prozac for depressions.. and the above
discussion is why.. of course, most trashheads will rush to other
(irrelevant) conclusions..

I have not tried Viagra, but I am thinking of doing so at some point
to
compare the experience to having sex while taking Prozac. As I have
written,
Prozac gives very hard, very long-lasting erections, but the experience is
not
very enjoyable for the man. His woman enjoys the experience, but the man
has
less sensitivity in his penis and does not come to orgasm easily.
