GregAtkinson Thanks for the update! Good to hear from you again. I've heard good things about this virtual headache center -- but I've never tried them and have no personal experience to offer. Unfortunately with awful LED lights going everywhere in public I might have to see someone like that.
Again just from my research, no personal experience, you might want to look into:
Clokwork How are you doing now? I'm on 10 mg escitalopram for the past 15 years or so (was having random panic attacks). Recently tried to upgrade a laptop/monitor/camera etc. and realized that I'm affected by almost all new screens and monitors. It's sent my anxiety through the roof. I was actually thinking of trying to maybe getting off Lexapro since it does seem to have a ocular/vision effect component to it. I don't recall any vision changes when I first started taking it but maybe the triggers in technology just weren't there. So figured maybe being off it would help.
It's been roughly 8 weeks since I went off Nortriptyline and I can say with certainty that my headaches are worse now than they were when I was on Nortriptyline (same with Paxil and Prozac).
For instance, I have a large ViewSonic monitor that I could use just fine on Nortriptyline but now I get headaches within 10 minutes of using it. I'm back to my old standby monitors (I have one old Acer and one old Asus that are 10+ years old).
I got a prescription for venlafaxine (Effexor). I'll give that a shot, but I have some serious catching up to do in my life, so I need to make sure my motivation issues are figured out before I start another antidepressant. I'll send an update in November.
ryans suggested a couple supplements/vitamins, so I went crazy and decided to try these four:
I'm skeptical, but hey, if there's a 1% chance it'll work I'm willing to give it a shot. Anybody else had any luck with vitamins or supplements?
I started all four at the same time and had side effects, so now I'm trying them one at a time. Here's my results so far:
Feverfew: gave me rebound headaches (20-ish hours after taking it, I'd get terrible headaches). I discontinued it.
Magnesium: may possibly have reduced (but definitely not eliminated) my headaches, but it also gave me diarrhea. I discontinued it.
I'll give an update on the other two later.

It suggest it did helped you to an extend, but the question is which type of magnesium did you take. The are a few main types. Some has caused diarrhea. Only one did not.

And you're taking the dosage too high. 250mg is the sweet dosage.
Tobiyas Thanks for the heads up. I did some research and it all seems clear as mud.
I was taking Magnesium Oxide, which can cause diarrhea. I'm going to experiment with various combinations of these two:
Magnesium Threonate (maybe take in the morning)
Magnesium Glycinate (maybe take at night)
I have tried magnesium in the past. Zero relief whatsoever.
Most neurologists will go through the routine of prescribing the normal panel of anti migraine medications (propranolol, Nortryptalin, etc) but they will not work. Those operate on entirely different pathways in the brain. But when a nuero hears the word "migraine" they just go back to protocol and walk you down the standard med path
I am working at a startup in San Francisco that builds eye strain free computer tablet. (I also have severe computer vision syndrome) Perhaps the tablet could be part of the solutions and improvement. 
We are interested in having 10-20 enthusiastic users to receive our tablets for 2 weeks or longer, and share their experiences with us. It will also help us understand what type of eye conditions does the tablet help with the most, and helped us discover our super fans and any software bugs! It is free to be a tester.
if interested, you can email me at: tiffany@jangleinc.com
Thank you! ^^
I've been on the Magnesium Glycinate 200 mg for about a week. So far, no reduction in headaches, though some sites say it can take weeks or months to notice a difference.
On the bright side, I'm sleeping much better. (Some studies indicate that magnesium helps with sleep.) And I don't have the diarrhea issues that the other magnesium pills caused.
I'll keep experimenting with the magnesium, CoQ10 and Riboflavin and post when I have an update.
Has anyone tried CGRP inhibitors? I am tempted to give it a try but from what I read online it costs 700 euro per injection in Italy, so very expensive.

why take risk with your health. If you need to use a computer for your work, just buy an old one (for example pre 2015 macbook) they were PWM free, and disable dithering via terminal or SwitchResX. Or if you prefer Windows use Ditherig.exe.
I know its hard to avoid computer screens nowadays, but limiting screen time is ofcourse the best solution.
Hunter20 I am already taking a medication (fluxarten) which is a vasodilator. Without this medication I would be disocupied for a year.
In many companies it is not possible to use such old PCs without OS upgrades.
But even solving the job problem, I am still tired of having problems with phones (I am still stuck with iphone X IOS14), tablet tv etc.. I want to get back to having a normal life and these CGRP inhibitors look very promising.
When you are surrounded with technology and EMF's coming from it in various modulated forms, you can not expect any health. This can be that flickering visible light EMF pushed onto your face, WIFI emf pushed at 30 decibels max transmit rate, or your beloved 4G/5G mobile phone that needs to transmit as powerful signal as possible so that it would actually reach closest cell station. Knowing EMF propagation and inverse square law, you do not need to be genius to understand - only a distance, reduction of transmit power, or total shutdown can save you!

Ketones! Anyone tried? The magnesium bhb powder especially seems to remedy the acute symptoms.
Not WE should be forced to take some medicine or go to the doctor.
Instead, hardware and software manufacturers should stop this madness with pwm and dithering.
