Topiramate
"My migraines always last 8 & 1/2 hours of pain & nausea with 1/2 hour aura and 2 - 3 days of pain after.



I started on this 10 years ago at 1 x 25mg pill each night before bed. Since starting I've only suffered from 4 or 5 migraines. I used to have 1 migraine every week or 2. I've spent less time worrying about when I'd next be suffering. But the side effects were terrible. Brain fog / slowing of mental & physical activity / memory issues / confusion / speech & language issues / trouble concentrating / increased anxiety were the worst, haven't felt like myself in years. Also had: fatigue, insomnia, depression, eye problems, tingling extremities, weight gain & occasional dizziness.



Stopped it 2 months ago & still migraine free so far."
