My son has been experiencing migraines that have been getting worse. Dr....a Jesus follower gave him new meds to help... Apparently at least one is having an effect of increasing suicidal thoughts. I rebuked those thoughts in Jesus' name.... however, he handed me his knife for safekeeping over night..... He is 19.
praying for his healing and freedom
 
i think some older antidepressants are used now and then for migraines...the tricyclics, in particular. and a lot of anti-seizure drugs which can also make mood worse, cause depression, suicidality, etc...

and I think the effects tend to be more common in those 24 or under, for whatever reason(s). yikes. sorry about this. :-(


on the plus side, there's a good number of (potential) treatments for migraines out there. Sometimes its just...pain killers, but now with the war on those, I guess some prescribers are bound to go for other drugs. :-(


anyway...you and your son are in my prayers. Let's pray that this, too, shall pass. :)
 
Gotcha Covered! Praying for you and your son. In this day and age with computers and gadgets. reducing Screen time on computers as well as phone can help. With TV flicker rates or the refresh rates cause issues. (they are so fast we can't notice them but our brain does) also, even with a big phone, we strain to read everything or watch everything, long story short, decreasing screen time enables your brain to rest. Hardest thing for a 19 year old to do is give up phone time/Tv/computer time.:eek2
 
What a scare! You and your son are in our prayers

I'm sorry your son and yourself are experiencing this. I extend my prayers this evening to include your son, and your family for relief and answers. I imagine this is a worrying situation, however the Lord will ensure your family remains safe; He never forgets us, and always loves us.

I sincerely hope he recovers soon; and please keep us updated with the progress.
