Ajovy & Anxiety?

I’m writing this in hopes of getting a better idea of whether my thoughts about my current situation are shared in this community.

I started Ajovy 3 months ago, after Qulipta, which I thought was a Godsend, but it stopped working. Now, Ajovy seems to finally be having some effect & my migraines are fewer & less intense. HOWEVER, during the same period of time that I’ve been taking the Ajovy, I’ve noticed a severe increase in my (already diagnosed) depression & episodes of anxiety/panic attacks that I NEVER had before. I’m also having right shoulder joint pain which is new & no injury. Joint pain is listed as a possible side effect of Ajovy.
I just realized the common denominator in the past few days & have written to my neurologist. I have an appointment with my psych provider, but, they are not available until October.
So, now, I’m thinking that the cure may be worse than the disease.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
