migraine prevention
"I've been taking Topamax (brand) for approximately ten years.  Due to severe migraines this was the only medication to prevent what had been dabilitating headaches, nausea & vomiting, sensitivity to light, smell, sound, movement, and dizziness. After several years, my insurance refused to continue payment of the brand until I tried the generic tablets.  After 3 days, the original symptoms returned.  They finally approved continued payment of brand and now two years later they again have refused to cover (pay) for medication although it falls under the plan.  For three months, my neurologist and I have issued appeals with no clear explanation of the denial. I would just like to again take meds to rid myself of this pain."
