How to treat Depression when taking Sumatriptan Injections
Hi all
Does anyone know which antidepressants can be use with sumatriptan ?
I've just statred to have CH attacks after at least a 2 year gap from Full Blown attacks.... and was due to strart on ssri. But concerned about the serotonin syndrome.
Does anyone have any knowledge ?
Thanks

Hello Roger,
I'd suggest that you talk to your neuro, or headache nurse, or maybe a pharmacist to discuss this. The contra-indications on sumatriptan are both MAOI's and SSRI's. We can't really advise on which are best [if any] as we don't know your health history and we are not heallth professionals. So it is the health professionals you need to speak to.
Hope you get sorted out!
Val.
