Julie,

I suffered from Migraines for years before getting RSD. The only thing that brought relief was Maxalt. When I first began Topomax for the RSD (that was before it was used as migraine preventative) I did not have a migraine for over 6 months but they did come back. I was on 150 mg. a day for several years. I did go into remission with RSD and went off Topamax. About a year ago I decided to try Topamax again for migraine prevention because I was having 15-20 days a month of migraine rather than the normal 3-5. I am on 100 mg. a day and it has reduced the frequency dramatically back down to about 3 days a month. I do not like the side effects of Topamax, (for me memory/thinking isn't as sharp) but the migraines were more debilitating. You have to just keep looking for something that works for you though, everyone is so different. Hope you get relief.
