migraine prevention
"I am a 50 yr old male who has suffered from migraines for nearly 40 yrs.  The toughest yrs (about 25 of them) consisted of migraines in excess of 300 days in any given yr.  Then I found Topamax and asked my Neurologist if we could give it a shot for me.  That was 6 yrs ago and now I have less than 50 headaches (not migraines), headaches in any given year.  My dose is 200mg in the morning and 200mg in the evening, and yes like most of you I have had to deal with the numbing in the extremities but you get over it in time.  The memory thing, well, how good was my memory anyway when I had a migraine that lasted for 6 months and I was blacking out at times, tunnel vision and puking almost daily.  This medication gave me my life back.  Thanks!"
