Topiramate
migraine prevention
"The first month was great, started on 25mg and upped to 100mg within 4 weeks. Totally migraine free except when I came to my period. Then I started to have a visual aura which I never previously experienced and had a 3-day intense migraine. My usual vertigo and severe travel sickness completely disappeared. After that, I stayed headache free mostly for a couple of months, apart from my time of month and ovulation. I continue to get the visual auras almost daily. They're not painful so don't bother me. Last month, the headaches came back almost daily with the auras. My doctor increased dose, going to 200mg and headaches are gone already. I'm hoping this will also help with back pain from disk degeneration. Lost 33lbs"
