migraine prevention
"I suffer bi-lateral migraines and have been on Topamax for several years off and on now. I have mixed reviews.  I LOVE Topamax, because nothing else works for me. In fact I was given Maxalt and Propranolol together and wound up in the hospital almost dead. You can NOT take those two together. All medicines have side effects, so does Topamax. I liked the weight loss in the beginning, but be careful with it. I lost 80 lbs and couldn't stop. I forgot to eat. Topamax makes me just not hungry. I have it fixed now and watch out for it, but it was very scary. The memory loss has been a problem at times, but has been funny too. I have not experienced the HOT they spoke of...I FREEZE ALL THE TIME!"
