Migraine Prevention
"I&#039;ve been on Topamax for 2 weeks now after switching from Elavil. Now I&#039;m seriously questioning that decision despite the problems Elavil caused me. The insomnia is outrageous. I have to set an alarm to take my morning dose at 5 a.m. so that my evening dose can be taken around 3 p.m. This way it&#039;s effects have kind have faded off by bedtime and with the help of some prescribed sleeping pills I&#039;m lucky to get a tiny bit of sleep. Of course, along with that I have tingling, slight numbness (not enough to even complain about), dizziness, decreased appetite, taste aversion, and weight loss of course. I haven&#039;t had too many experiences with confusion yet. On a positive note, my migraines haven&#039;t returned."
