migraine prevention
"I was diagnosed with ocular migraines.  I could not drive without getting sick and see correctly.  I was prescribed topamax 2 weeks ago.  I am a taking 25 mg in am/pm and and I am down 4.5 lbs.

I did not know this was a weight loss drug too until I saw I lost weight.  For me, it's a bonus.  I just want to be able to drive and not be sick.  

At work, I have to be careful what I type in emails because I have a dopey effect but I can deal with that as long as I function in other areas of my life.  I have noticed beer does not taste good so I cannot drink that any longer.  I thought it was bad beer until I read something about how our brains are functioning differently on topamax ."
