[QUOTE="Alisonlg, post: 36819, member: 2894"] I recently started Topamax (about 2-3 months ago) for my migraines. I've been getting migraines up to 3-5 a week for the past 15+ years of my life. I've done a lot to identify and elimitate my triggers...not enough sleep, too much sleep, artificial sweeteners, strong smells, cigarette smoke, etc. I've found Topamax to be helpful with *most* of my migraines. It's not getting rid of the menstrual migraines, so for that my neurologist has Rx'd Frova to take throughout my entire menstrual migraine cycle as a daily preventative, even though it's an acute medication. The freedom from migraines it gives me the rest of the month makes it worth the tingling I feel throughout my body off and on throughout the day. I don't think it's made me any more forgetful than I used to be LOL :P And, I just discovered yesterday that I've lost about 15 lbs, so I'm really happy!!! [img]:smile:[/img] I'm still working on one more trigger...sinuses...and then I think I'll have done everything I can for my migraines....that is until the next new miracle drug comes out!
