Have you had a CT scan when you get these headaches, Laura? I have had a couple of CT scans, especially when the headaches were quick onset.
Yup, I had 2 CT scans when I was having chronic facial pain and headaches/migraines. Both came back as 'normal', however they didn't use a contrast of any type during the CTs (not sure if that would have made a difference).

I'll have to check into Topamax. Not sure what the generic or brand name is in Canada (or if it's the same).
