Hello to everyone out there. I am a mother, whose 31-year old daughter suffered a concussion a little over a year ago abroad, when a violent massage ended with her being hit in the head twice. She has had numerous small hits to head since, through accident, which she feels have started her back at square one.

She recently started taking Topamax 25 mg. for her migraines, but 1 1/2 weeks in, she is having horrible migraines, she cannot sleep more than 3 hours, and she cannot hear sounds without agony. She told me that even swallowing or hearing the joints in her neck creak start her migraines over. She wants to know if these could possibly be side effects from Topamax (she has also started in Gabapentin). I called her doctor and was told that these are probably not side effects. My daughter is desperate for help. Thank you for anyone who can assist her with advice.
