migraine prevention
"I just started taking Topamax a little over 2 weeks ago. I am up to 100 mg a day.  I am starting to really notice some short term memory issues, however I have not had a migraine, let alone a single headache since starting the medicines. Everything has started tasting weird since starting the 100mg dose.  I used to drink at least 4 cups of coffee a day and can't stand to drink it at all.  The bonus is that it has helped with the caffeine withdrawal. I am also a smoker and it has helped reduce my craving for tobacco! I have read a lot of the posts on here and am seriously concerned about many of the side effects such as hair loss.  However the weight loss aspect is really appealing. I haven't lost anything yet though."
