Presenting Concerns: Ash presents with a history of recurring headaches, lasting 4 to 48 hours, characterized by pulsating pain on the right side of her head. These episodes are accompanied by nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia and she denies any aura-like symptoms.

No signs of fever, meningeal irritation, or focal neurological deficits. All blood work is within normal limits.

She is employed and living independently. Her mood is good, but she has been overly tired and has gained weight since starting quetiapine which she does not like. She would like to discuss stopping quetiapine.
