Hi
Topomax was originally developed to deal with seizures. As I am an epileptic I take it to help prevent further seizures (to back up the dread Tegretol)
apparently it has shown, as one of its side effects, some efficacy in dealing with migraines another of the problems I live with and wish I didn't.
The neuro prescribed it instead of increasing the tegretol...
he warned me though that topomax also had a side effect of causing weight loss which has happened too ...kat
