Fatigue, Vertigo, Electrical Feeling In Leg. History Of Migraine. Taken Wellbutrin. Any Idea?

just wondering if you have any clue what is going on with me. I have a had a lot of problems in the last few years off and on. Recently i have had extreme fatigue, vertigo, and the symptom that has really concerned me is that when i bend my neck down i get an electrical feeling in my rt leg. The neck symptom started around 5 weeks ago when i also had anterior neck pain and jaw pain on the rt side that an ent told me was carotidynia. i have a history of complex migraines that cause numbness and tingling on one side of my body. that started 5 years ago,about 2 months after gallbladder surgery.saw a neuro and he said it was a complex migraine. only stopped when i got pregnant 3 months later. started having muslce and joint pain after delivery of my son that didn't go away for months. had some migraines again. got pregnant again 1 1/2 years later but miscarried. symptoms happened again after.got pregnant again a few months later. had a good pregnancy. ended up with a massive pelvic hematoma. had the mucle and joint pain after, fatigue. the vertigo started months later then bilateral thigh numbness, burning on the back of my hands and then the neck symptoms that i described previously. i went to my pcp before the ent and she told me i am depressed and gave me wellbutrin, it didnt really help. i stopped taking it just a few days ago after i got one of those weird migraines again. i have no clue if this is neurological or not but i am a mess. i really hope someone has an idea about what this could be. they only testing that i had in the past that was abnormal was low platelets. i had bw recently and platelets were within the normal range but mpv was high(12.7). had a brain mri in the past which was normal (5yrs ago). recent ct neck which was normal

hi,
migraine is known to cause such neurological symptoms like tingling sensation, vertigo etc. as you have told, you dont have any organic/visible problem in brain. hence it is most likely due to migraine. since you are wellbutrin, possibly your doctor has diagnosed you as depression. even in depression you do get such symptoms. continue the drug for some more time, if it doesnt come down may be he will change the diagnosis/treatment.

wishing you good health
