Migraine Prevention
"I&#039;ve been taking Zonegran for a few years now at 300mg per day. It had really gotten my headaches under control to where I would only have a headache periodically. Weight loss has been a side effect that I haven&#039;t minded. The problem is I&#039;ve had significant memory and focus issues. I hardly felt competent most of the time. I have slowly weened myself down to 100mgs per day (I notified my neurologist of this because its an anti-seizure medicine so you shouldn&#039;t stop it cold turkey or it could cause a seizure). My memory has improved significantly, but the headaches have returned with a vengeance. I&#039;m back to taking narcotics to address each debilitating headache. I used to take Topamax. It too worked beautifully, but also wiped out the memory."
