Topiramate
"I'm writing about my 18 year old daughter who is currently on Topamax.  She has suffered from migraines since she was about 12 years old.  They would take her out for 2-3 days each, occurring anywhere from 2-6 times a month.  When she was first given Topamax we thought it was the greatest medication ever.  Problem solved, she felt that the tingling fingers, and face as well as the flat soda taste was well worth not suffering from migraines.  HOWEVER - and I can not stress this enough  as she increased her dose, she exhibited personality changes.  She became depressed and overall just wasn't herself.  Thankfully we recognized this and are working with her Dr. to back off the Topamax.  We will be looking into other options.  Not worth it!"
