migraine prevention
"I was on Topimax 1000mg a day for approximately 10 years.  Yes, I experienced the side effects of tingling in my fingers & toes sporadically.  Had a migraine maybe 1 time/year (prior I had 2 migraines a week) Finally, the Topimax became ineffective (body probably was immune) and switched to Depakote 250 mg a day (125 mg in the morning and 125 mg at bedtime).  No headache! I did gain 15-20 pounds in the first 3 months- I was well aware of the possible weight gain. Weight gain is well worth it - when the alternative is migraines.  Have to weigh pro's & con's.  Also I take OTC 5-HTP to combat the fuzziness and such.  Can't complain...."
