migraine prevention
"Been in Topiramate for 3 months now and the weight loss has been minimal, although it has worked wonders for the migraines I was suffering with. I was having around 3 horrendous headaches a day, I'd been prescribed 3 different triptans, verapamil, pizotofen, nortryptaline amongst other medications and was taking naproxen like smarties!! Then along came Topiramate!!! It took around 3 weeks to start working and has been a godsend. The only side effects I've had have been the tingling in my mouth, hands and feet, which, yes, is annoying but nothing compared to the pain I had from the migraines. I could do to shed a few pounds, so if weight loss is a "side effect" I'm waiting with open arms!!!"
