Hi Electric...
I know what you mean about not telling anyone as they will expect that now that the headache is 'gone'...you are 'fine' again. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth.
Thanks for the info on the Topamax. I just went off it after 4 days and I am feeling much better now. All that craziness is gone! I'm succeeding in keeping the headache in the 2-3 pain range with 1,000 mg of Tylenol 2 x a day or a Tramadol. Not having any side effects with these.

25 mg twice a day then i went up to 25 mg in the am and 50 mg at bedtime.
i am very sensitive to meds even thought i am a male and 205 lbs.
side effects are always dose dependent so go slow.
i still have headaches like crazy though. especially if i am tired or stressed. they do seem less severe but i don't tell anyone yet of any success.
