migraine prevention
"I have been on Topamax for eight months.  Prior to that I was having clusters of migraines (5 to 7 per month).  I have had two total migraines since starting the medication.  Recently my doctor increased my dosage to decrease the breakthrough migraines.  I do have the tingling in my hands/feet, and have lost 35 pounds (but needed to).  I also was a soda drinker prior to taking the medicine, but have not drank soda since starting Topamax.  I do struggle with memory and finding words.  Although the side effects are problematic, they do not outweigh the benefits of not having migraines."
