Default Topamax

I've been taking topamax for about 2 years due to severe and frequent migraines. It has helped quite a bit, hasn't stopped them, but they are limited to three a month, and generally not as severe.

Problem? They just released generic topamax (topamirlate). Not only does the generic NOT work, it was giving me migraines. For the five days I took the generic I had a migraine every day. I stopped taking it, and my headaches are back to where they were before I even started topamax.

Anyone else taking topamax notice an increase in headaches when you got switched to the generic when you refilled your rx?
