Going up like you are should really help on the topamax.

If you find some relief at the 50mg though I would hold off on going on
up to the 100mg for say even 1 more week. The reason being that the
longer the 50mg can hold the headaches at bay the better. Then you
wont be needing to continue raising the amount.

Even though honestly even 50 mg or 100 mg all together isn't much.
I take 200mg a day for migraines and have now for over 2 years.
I took 100mg a day for about 1 year before needing to go up because
it was not holding the migraines at bay anymore.

But now I needed to go up again, and instead added a different medicine
because of high blood pressure, one that helps both.
