Migraine Prevention
"I&#039;ve been on Topamax (topiramate) for 6 years, and loved it at first. My migraines decreased dramatically, I had weight loss from the appetite suppression, and I overall felt better. But I had pretty bad tingling in my hands and all over my face for the whole time I&#039;ve taken it. Also more recently, I&#039;ve made the connection with my severe memory loss to the medication. I used to be able to retain information and facts like an elephant, but I can hardly recall simple words some days. I&#039;m planning on going off the Topamax (with the direction of my neuro) because the memory loss issue is so disturbing to me."
