Hi there,
A detailed medical and psychiatric history is always needed for every case.In addition, a detailed mental status examination is also recommended for every case to come for a diagnosis and management of the case accordingly.
Prevalence of Depression in migraine is high.That not be because of the medications.
You may need slightly higher dose of Antidepressants than what you are getting.
Clonazepam is given for some time and it’s tapered off after some time.
All depressive patients may not have suicidal ideas as you are getting. Another medications are also included in the treatment plan if such symptoms exists.
Antidepressants effects may take take 7-10 days with medications and higher doses needed accordingly to its effects.
Do discuss your problems with your mental health professional.Take the treatment under supervision of a mental health professional.
