Migraine Prevention
"I have been taking topamax for 2 months to help prevent severe daily migraines w/ Aura it has helped me tremendously. I did lose 6 lbs the 1st week. Mainly due to diarrhea &amp; lack of appetite. I almost gave up on taking it because of the stomach cramps I was getting but they subsided after the 1st week. I have changed a lot about my lifestyle since taking topamax so I don&#039;t know how much of my weight loss can be attributed to the drug itself but I definitely have lost weight 12 lbs &amp; don&#039;t crave sugar. I stopped drinking soda over a yr ago so I don&#039;t know if it tastes different now. I do want water more than anything, which is fine. It does make you drowsy/foggy but I take my dose at bedtime, I do get weird tingles a few times a day in hands"
