Topiramate
"I've tried every medicine you can offer someone in pediatrics so they are now trying me on adult meds. I've been on topiramate for 6 months nearly and its not been great for me. I'm currently doing my AS levels and although it has cuts my headaches/migraines down from 6-7 a week to 3-4 a week the side effects have been awful. I had been irritable and tired. I lost a fair bit of weight that I don't need to lose simply because I'm not hungry any more. I've been experiencing pins and needle in my hands and feet and am constantly cold, and I am dizzy and feel like passing out. And with exams coming up the memory problems and the problems with getting out my words isn't helping. At 17, suffering from migraines for coming up too 4 years I don't know what to do."
