I am 43 , I have been taking TOPAMAX for 3 yrs for migraines 50mg for 1 1/2yrs and then increased to 100mg. It helped for the first 2yrs but, not now... The side effect have took over my life!! All the routine S/E I have heard you all talk about plus, eye pain and more headaches!! Not migraines but, bad headaches! I thought I was having sinus pain...BUT, it never stopped and was daily for a yr. I could barely work! I am a R.N. and I have researched this drug and, talked to many different doctors...unless, it is for seizures I would NOT take it again!! If it seems to help your migraines, be sure you understand there is a trade off!...and it is NOT good in the long run! I felt like I was going crazy..and started feeling so "old"? I went cold turkey 4 days ago...eye pain/daily headaches GONE!! I do have a nervous feeling, and do not feel hungry and ...I am sure withdrawal s/s. I hope the "stupid" feeling will go away soon...feeling more energy already :) I use to love this med...now I hope I do not have any long term memory effect ect... sorry if I misspelled any words ....the TOPAMAX you know!!LOL!! Good Luck to you all!
