In reply to Re: Starting on Topomax for Migraines. Advice anyone?, posted by Jaycee on November 18, 2002, at 5:17:27
I suffered from debilating migranes from three car accidents for 6 years and had taken every mediaction out without much luck. the ony thing i had i has found that helped was chiropractic adjudustments, but their only as good as the dr. the dr. i had found had to move so i was left in the same boat, most of the meds i had taken left me with rebound headaches, that were worse then the migranes, so it didn't matter what i did. I had exactly the same prob with the agitation with the topamax as you did, i had to keep the dosage low at 100mg, and add depakote. they are treating migrane headaces with other anti seizure meds like neurotin, but I found the side effects of that med to be very severe, everey, med effect each of us differenty, so don't give up hope, and you might want to look into chiropractic a few shots, it is not pleasant at first but i was in so much pain at first that i coulndn't turn my head to the left for three years, and now i can, and i can't give credit for that to a med. good luck
