You may want to consult with a Psychiatrist about these meds since Lexapro is a psychotropic and the Dr. would know about serotonin. You may also benefit from seeing a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to help cope with migraines. I assume your Neurologist has discussed avoiding triggers. If you aren't confident in your Dr. please see another for a 2nd opinion
