Does anyone else get horrible mood swings with their migraine headaches?

I'm not generally depressed, but today, before my head hurt and before I started seeing funny spots (but not before seeing some flashing lights), I just felt like jumping off a bridge. Other times before a nasty migraine, I'll feel like chewing off people's heads. The I-just-want-to-die feelings are rather frightening because they are so strong and so out of left field.

As soon as I recognized them as prodromal symptoms, I took my rescue meds. I'm glad my head doesn't hurt too much, but all sounds and lights still hurt a lot.

Does anyone else go through this?
How common is this as a migraine symptom?
What do you do?

No joke answers on this one, PLEASE. This is not funny for me. It is nasty, painful and scary. Thanks for your honest suggestions and comments.
