migraine prevention
"My experience with topiramate was quite positive in terms of migraine frequency. I did have trouble with anomia: the inability to find words, especially nouns. We in the healthcare field call it "Dopamax" due to the side effects of forgetting things and making you dopey . I lost my insurance and had to stop it abruptly, which is oh-so-wrong. It should be tapered. The enormous downside to this drug--even generic--it its outrageous cost. Needless to say, I am suffering as much as I was before having taken it. I was titrated up to 400 mg/day, which is the maximum does recommended. On the other hand, my memory has returned."
