The : The depression you feel is probably not related to Excedrin migraine tablet. It is more likely that the depression is more associated with the condition you are suffering from. Migraines are a condition that entails intense headache, photosensitivity and nausea along with inability to do activities of daily living. It is more likely that your symptoms lead to feelings of depression. If the feelings of depression persist (for example: constant sadness, feelings of unworthiness, hopelessness), see your doctor. They may be able to provide a treatment regimen that can help.

Possibly related: People react differently to pain. The research suggests that more likely it is your reaction to the continuous pain that causes the depressed feelings, not vice-versa.

No problem: Migraine is a neurological event. Very commonly, as part of the migraine process one can feel depressed, confused, disoriented, fatigued, dizzy, and anxious for up to 5 days before, during or after the migraine attack. If you feel anxious, confused, light headed, cold, or have a decreased appetite 24 hours prior to your headache take 1 aleve (naproxen) and this could prevent the onset of migraine www.Ache.Org.
