migraine prevention
"Took Topamax for headache prevention. Made me so sleepy I was sleeping through my 11 am classes, then coming back from class and sleeping through lunch and dinner. I did lose 20 pounds due to sleeping through meals and the extreme anxiety caused by Topamax, but the second I stopped, I gained it right back. I have been off of it for months but am reviewing today because I am still getting the "pins and needles" feeling in my hands, even about 9 months after quitting cold turkey. I hated my experience with Topamax, it negatively affected my grades and did not improve my headaches."
