migraine prevention
"I had migraines that lasted up to nine days. My neurologist started me on 25mg Topamax and the frequency dropped off immediately.   I actually loved the way I felt on Topamax.  I had boundless energy, no appetite, and was always in a good mood.
After two years, I decided to stop taking it because my skin was breaking out and I think I felt a little too confident in myself.  I drove a little faster, said really odd things to people (no filter) and seemed to be turning into a show off about how skinny I was.  Not my best personality!
I stopped taking it and didn't gain any weight, but the headaches are back.  Once my dermatologist gets my skin cleared up, I might go back on it, but will be very mindful of the side effects."
