My husband is finally recovering (he is back to 100% after a year of searching for relief) from his first depressive episode thanks to Wellbutrin and Celexa, but his migraines which are triggered by barometric pressure drops have been and are still a problem.
The depression started a year after the migraines, and we can't find any substantial link between them.
The barometric pressure drops in the spring and summer have been the bane of our existence, though.
He doesn't watch the weather in order to avoid self-fulfilling prophecies, but I have charted it using www.wunderground.com. You can enter you zip code and get pretty complete historical data. There are days missing, but its the best site I've found.
Good Luck,
Karen
