migraine prevention
"I was put on topamax for about 3 weeks for excruciating migraines that I would get just about daily. While it was pretty effective at decreasing my headaches (I only had about one or two in the three weeks I was on it), I experienced side effects from it. I was taken off it for a few days and then put back on to see if I still had the same problems.  A little bit of lip tingling but nothing major.  When I upped the dose like I was supposed to my gums started hurting so my doctor took me off it and put me on Depakote."
