Topiramate
migraine prevention
"I started this medication at the suggestion of my neurologist in June 2016. I was overweight and having frequent migraines. I started on 25mg and increased by 25 mg every week until I was at 100 mg. I started to notice slow weight loss at first, and my migraines were instantly better. The weight loss definitely increased once I got to 100mg. After the one month mark the doctor increased me to 125mg and the wight loss slowly continued. As of now I am down 27lbs and still going! As some have said the side effects of "word soup" and tingling in my hands and feet have all happened, but they have all worn off once I have become used to the increased dosage (which is a good and bad thing). I'll be talking with the dr soon! Good luck everyone!"
