Further treatment: There is often a complex interaction between chronic pain, anxiety, depression and stress/triggers to migraine. In general, when on chronic meds for a chronic condition and things worsen, new symptoms develop, or symptoms remain at problematic levels, its time for re-assessment and consideration fo med adjustments or additional therapies. Psychotherapy often helps migraine and anxiety.
