On a scale of 1-10, how bad is your headache? At worst? At best? Most of the time?

I had a non-stop headache for pretty much 6 months after my injury. It varied between 3 and 8. Vicodin could get it to back off for a while but also started causing rebound headaches after a while.

Amitriptyline helped me have some headache-free days and I'm now transitioning over to Topamax hoping that it may help me have more. Are you on any migraine-preventive medications like that?
