Migraine Prevention
"I started out slowly at 25mg. on Topiramate for migraine prevention since I was getting 2-4 a week. The morning after I took my first dose my diet coke tasted flat, and I opened 3 other cans thinking there must be something wrong with the case of soda I bought, refusing to believe that the side effect of making carbonated drinks taste flat could start after just one dose, but it did. Within 72 hours I began having eye pressure and weird eye pain, I was concerned and saw an ophthalmologist, one of the adverse effects of the med. is glaucoma, but everything was fine. When I increased to 50 mg./day I was so THIRSTY all the time. At 150mg. Migraines were decreased, but I was cognitively impaired with hair loss. Lost 8 lbs. after starting 150 mg"
