Migraine Prevention
"I have been on 200mg/day of Topamax for about 6 years along with a bunch of other things and it seemed as though my headaches were worse.  I kept begging to increase the Topamax as I had stopped having any side effects.  Finally I fired my pain doctor after he told me just to go &quot;cold turkey&quot; off of morphine (I wanted to stop taking it, but not exactly that way!).  Life is so much better without daily pain medicines and I found a neurologist who took me all the way up to 400mg/day on Topamax.  I did start to have some more weight loss and taste issues and sleepiness, but my migraines became much more manageable with Imitrex and much less frequent.  That is down to maybe once a week from near daily."
