I've been on Topamax for nearly a month now. My biggest complaint is I can't remember whether I'm coming or going! It's ridiculous. The toe tingling went away after a couple of weeks. The abdominal pain isn't as bad as it has been. I cannot tolerate taking my 100mg dose in divided doses during the day because it makes me sleepy at work, so I take them both at night. I've had two headaches since beginning this new medication. Good ol' Imitrex injection saved the day both times, but that was after the vomiting subsided and I was able to pack my head in ice. I have been moody, quick to anger one minute and sad and near tears the next. At 52, I've suffered migraines since I was 3. I'm irritated by people who can function, ie: walk around, laugh, joke etc. while touting they have a "migraine" while those of who really suffer are looked at by others as if we are slackers, crazy, or "drug seekers". I just wish someone would come out with something, anything that would work without any side effects whatsoever...but doesn't everybody, for every disease.
