I have been on Topamax for several years now for crippling migrai...

I just found out about this Topamax site when I was writing about Singular. I just made my posting today so you can read my side effects on that; however, I wanted to tell you in something in case you chose not to read the exert. I am 42 and have had migraines 4 days a week since I was 18. I took Topamax for 6 months and though the benefits out weighed the side effects that is until my daughter woke me up to saying she wanted her mommy back. Anyways, when I stopped the Topamax the migraines came back full force and even seemed to be worse (probably because I started to get use to not having pain). A year later I had a physical and the doctor said that my thyroid was off and wanted me to start on Synthroid. Since being on Synthroid for 2 years I have pretty much been Migraine free. The only time I had a few bad ones was when the had to up the dose of my Synthroid. Pretty much now I know when my headaches start back up that it's time to have my blood checked for thyroid. And in every case Synthroid had to be uped. I have been the happiest person migraine free. My point is I would definitely check with your doctor to see if you Thyroid is working probably. I would go to an Endocronologist who specializes in thyroid and have them do the test. Many General doctors don't know to test for all the different T levels. I hope this information is helpful and could maybe be the cause of your migraines. If not, at least you tried. Good luck and hope that you can find some relief.
