migraine prevention
"I used Topamax for less than a year. I loved it for the first 7 months because it got rid of my headaches and reduced my appetite.  Then I began to notice side-effects that made me anxious to get off of it.  My fingernails became really thin, I was depressed and my hair was really was falling. I was taking 600 mg of Topamax which sounds like more than a lot of people but I found out online that many other people experienced the same symptoms on lower doses. I had to ween myself off Topamax and am starting Elavil. "
