Topiramate
migraine prevention
"Just started Topiramate August 2 2013. I've had migraines for 33 years.  Imitrex works unless, like now, I'm a stress-monkey. I was having 2-3 migraines per week. Doc started me on 50 mg. Slowly working up to maximum dose over 30 days. I didn't like the 1st 3 days. Feel disoriented, dingy, irritable. I've lost 8 lbs in 3 weeks which is fine since my weight contributes to my hypertension which contributes to my migraines. My doc & I plan to take me off Topiramate as I lose weight & get healthier. Right now I can tolerate the negatives."
