Migraine Prevention
"I&#039;ve been taking this medication for a little under two weeks. To give you a background, I&#039;ll be 20 in a week, and have had migraines with auras since I was about 10. I&#039;ve had numerous prescription meds, from injections to triptans to hydrocodone, etc, I think topomax makes #13? Anyways, over the last year my migraines have increased in frequency, I&#039;m guessing because of the stress of college, but I get them every week, about twice a week, one right after another( triptans for me usually trigger another migraine) I&#039;ve been dreading starting this medication, but finally decided to give it ago, as I&#039;m on winter break and quite frankly this is all I have left to try. Literally half of my life has been consumed by this. Right now my right foot is tingling, and my chest hurts, I&#039;m rather dizzy and have been forgetting things all week. I&#039;ve felt super anxious and down all week, but I haven&#039;t had a migraine in 20 days. Sprite tastes flat but I don&#039;t really drink soda apart from that so I don&#039;t mind, so far this is bearable. I noticed when I went up to 50mg the side effects increased so I&#039;m worried about when I inc to 75 and 100mg, but we shall see. :)"
