Trying to understand all this information

Hi, I'm a 33 yof that has been suffering from chronic daily headaches/migraines for the past year.  These headaches cause vision problems, severe sensativity to light and sound and smell.   I have had an MRI (without contrast dye) in Nov of 07 which showed lesions on the white matter of my frontal lobe.  I am currently doing Neurofeedback which is showing some pretty crazy stuff.  My Thatas (sp) are barely working and my Bettas or Gammas are going crazy.  Yesterday she said that I am having mini seizures.  What could be causing this?  I am currently taking 200mg of Zoloft and 150 mg of Pamalor.  I also have to take Ambian in order to get to sleep, because if I don't I will lay there all night wide awake.  The headaches cause my BP to go through the roof and my resting HR is between 100-120.  Before this all started my HR was normal around 80 and my BP was usually 118/74.  I don't know if it is the medication that is causing the changes in BP and HR or what.  I am wondering if I should have a QEEG and an MRI with contrast dye to see what the heck is going on.  Any suggestions?

Hey Robin,
I have a daughter who has had a month long migrane that started after taking a weeks worth of Trisprentec. We are trying magnesium, but no change.  How much do you give your daughter?

Have you ever tried magnesium? I had migraines for 30 yrs and it "cured" them. Haven't had one in 4 yrs.
We are also using this for my daughter who has been having TC seizures for the past two years. She is med free, doing neurofeedback (which has given her the most control), however magnesium is known as having anti convulsive properties.
