[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 226476"] Here's my "short" answer... Topamax is the medication I love to hate. I love it 'cause it has really helped my headaches. I hate it cause it has nasty side effects. For me, I try to take the MINIMUM dosage that will help me. I do whatever I can to help my headaches get better in other ways. Together, small dosage of Topamax plus other things has been beneficial. It is not perfect, but it is a nice alternative. I am grateful to Topamax, but don't be fooled into thinking this is a safe/easy drug. For me personally, I didn't care or appreciate the "duh" factor....meaning it makes me have ADD/memory type issues. I'm even taking a small amount of a second drug to help with that since I'm in school. UGH! Again...I DO appreciate the headache help...it is a weirdo drug. I say...take the lowest dosage possible to help the situation at hand, experiment with other things to add on to help your situation and monitor closely. Hang in there. Hope this is helpful. Happy Holidays! [/QUOTE]
