Migraine Prevention
"I started taking Topamax about 3 years ago.  Began at 25mg a day for a week.  The second week I was supposed to move up to 50, the third week 2 75mg and then finally to 100mg on the fourth week.  I never really had to move past 25mg.  My migraines all but stopped after a month of being on the medication and at the lowest dose.  I had all the side effects - tingling, weight loss (very happy about it too), forgetting certain words and the nasty taste of soda.  That was okay because I only drink it very rarely anyway.  I was getting 1-2 migraines a week and now, I may have 1-2 a year.  Most of the side effect seemed to have faded with time as well.  Very, very pleased with this medication."
