Migraine Prevention
"I&#039;ve been on Topamax for almost 2 months now. My migraines were out of control and this has definitely helped them some and I&#039;m extremely grateful for that. However, the side effects hit me really really hard! In the beginning, the pins and needles in my hands and feet were so, so bad. I would wake up in the middle of the night yelling about how bad my feet hurt, because they woke me up. I had trouble touching things and picking things up because of the pins and needles in my hands (and occasionally still do). And for a while I was really, really spacey and slurred a lot of words and couldn&#039;t hold a conversation or do much of anything. I go back to the doctor soon for my follow up appointment, so I guess we&#039;ll see what happens."
