Anti-Depressant fun

I tried Wellbutrin for the 3rd time and within 3 days got hit HARD, again.  Needless to say, I will never try it again.  Could be coincidence, but the first 2 times I was not in cycle and got into cycle and this time I was just having shadows and wham.... I have had HAs back-to-back most of the day and not shadows.
 
So, I switched to Lexapro this evening and during a relatively bad HA took Maxalt MLT and now I find out that combo may cause serious problems.
 
Anyway, does anyone know a good anti-depressant that isn't on the list of drugs you shouldn't take with triptans (other than Wellbutrin)?  I have decided (for now) not to take anti-depressants again because of this.
 
My wife is my only anti-depressant.  She has been my rock through gallstones, CH, 2 slipped disks that required surgery, and kidney stones and we haven't been married 10 years yet.  I just want to function at a higher level for her and my kids.  (Sorry for the ranting...... just a bit frustrated)

You've overstayed your welcome since the day we met but it doesn't seem to matter to you. No medications are your master, nothing makes you fret, it's a helpless feeling having nothing I can do

Fram,
 
Sorry you're having a rough go.
 
I'm med free, use only 02, so I'm not much help.    
 
Anytime I ever took anything different, or changed the dose, my CH ran rampant.   I think that happens to alot of folks.
 
Don't worry about the rant...sometimes it's good to do that.
 
PF vibes to ya sweetie..

Head against this wall again
But the blows they have just a little more
Space in-between them
Gonna take a breath and try again.

Bummer, Eric. My sister is ECH, though not "classic". Her episodes are few and far between (she struggles with migraines all the time, though). She swears that Wellbutrin will trigger a CH episode and make her migraines much worse. She's sworn it off for good. I know someone who uses Prozac, and it hasn't seemed to have an effect on his CH.
