I've been on it for 5 weeks now, and I'm taking myself off it today. It was intended to help with a recurring headache/migraine issue. My migraine issue has improved, but the side effects are not worth it. I will instead go back to using Imitrex or similar medications as needed instead of a maintenance med like Topamax. I am frequently dizzy, and at times expreience the spins and bump into objects. My tongue feels and tastes like I smoked a fifty cent cigar, and any type of carbonated beverage tastes completely different and awful. I have been experiencing more frequent sinus pain and sore throats and thought that it was unrelated, but after reading some of the possible side effects I now realize that it may also be part of it. I also have frequent heartburn as well. Don't let this keep you from trying it out - it works well for some. Just don't be afraid to tell your doctor if it isn't worth the side effects. I just decided that it isn't worth it to me.
