Topiramate
"I started with migraine aged 2 and suffered all my life. Going through the menopause it got worse and I was given Topomax. It changed my life in fact it gave me my life back. I titrated the drug super slow from 5 mg up to 50mg twice a day. The only side effect I had was pins and needles in my hands for several minutes after taking the tablets, that was bearable. Within 3 months I was migraine free. 12 years on I am still taking the tablets and still migraine free. Drugs affect individuals differently so don't be put off by the bad experiences of others even though I feel heart sorry for them. If you are suffering badly with migraine as I was then at least give them a try and I hope they work for you as they do for me."
