Suggestions for which anti d might work...

I know everyone has differing experiences.
I'm not getting on with sertraline, tried it for a year now and have slowly been reducing the amount. I get far too many headaches on them and I already suffer with migraines which have been terrible the last 6 months. I've just come out of a 15 day migraine. It's been just awful.
I have a review with my gp in the morning and I want to request an new anti d that will also help with my migraines?
My mood is OK and managed well in that I don't have any major lows anymore. But the sertraline makes me fee numb and horrible.

Can anyone suggest anything Ian ask for? I find it so much better to make requests than wait for suggestions from them.

Thanks

Posted too soon, sorry.

Was going to say that it involves a bit of trial and error, which can be frustrating, but worth it when you find the right medication for you.
I tried citalopram, velafaxine, sertraline + mood stabilisers (valproate, quetiapine) + propropanol before I found fluoxetine worked best for me.
