migraine prevention
"I took this medication for nearly two months before seeking a second opinion about my hormonal migraines.  I was only having 1-2 migraines a month; however they would last 4-5 days at a time.  When the pain medications didn't help, my doctor started me on Topamax.  I do a great deal of technical writing and crisis management in my job, and my migraines really got in the way.  I was able to deal with the weight loss and taste changes, but the difficulty in concentrating became a serious issue. When I started losing hair, that was the last straw.  If my migraines became worse I may return to Topamax though."
