Migraine Prevention
"i have been on topamax for a little over 6 years.  I started at 25 mg. and slowly went up to 250 mg.  I experienced the weight loss, tingling and the other minimal side effects at the lower dose but was encouraged to stay on the meds.  As i increased the dose, i started having hair loss, dizziness and &quot;white outs&quot; where i would not be able to see at all for up to 20-30 seconds at a time.  I also started having the memory  issues.  I started seeing a new neuro and we dropped me  down to 100 mg.  The hair loss stopped but I still get the vertigo.  I am now down to 50 mg.  I suffer from eye pain in my left eye and still the random dizziness- which is horrible.  Weaning off of this - I do Botox injections now for preventative with some relief"
