migraine prevention
"I suffered from chronic migraines misdiagnosed as tension headaches for 10 years before being sent to a neurologist who started me on topiramate right away. It was very hard at first to get over the fatigue but the immediate improvement in my headaches was a life-changing experience.  The weight-loss was an added benefit.  My hair's thinned a bit, the taste changes are mild as are the tingling in my hands and feet (a few seconds here and there like they fall asleep-except it's in the middle of the palm or the sole).
