I take Topamax...I also take some really heavy pain medication if I have severe attacks.
The Topamax works really well, I take about 100 to 200 mg daily until they go away. I then taper off the Topamax and only take them every other day or three days a week. It works and my PCP is ok with this...you have to taper off and then when you start back work up.

I started at 100mg daily and that is what I normally take. I've had them since high school, and when they get really bad I take Meprogan Forte,or Fiorinal 3. Hope you find something that works...when my start, I can have them daily for months.
