Nothing unusual : This medication is a great antidepressant and is usually well-tolerated. Sometimes migraines can be brought on by stress or depression. Your doctor started you on a low dose which is good. I hope it helps you. There are different options for migraine prophylaxis. Talk with your doctor before starting any additional medication and before stopping your current medication.
