Default Went to Neurologist yesterday

He did dx me with pcs, he doesn't believe in pain meds, instead tries to heal you naturally and told me to start a diet that cut out certain foods saying that everything was related to serotonin, he also prescribed me topamax which I thought was a migraine preventive, not for relief

when i asked he said it was for both and the only side effects were minimal, although looking around I see alot of people have had adverse effects

Because of the fact that Ive had the same headache for almost a month now that never goes away how would topamax help me? and I believe it actually caused my insomnia to get worse as I haven't slept all night and I became very irritable and angry which I haven't really experienced before I took it

could i notice side effects from just a 25mg dose that easily? and he also told me that sleep will come back naturally and to not worry about it because no one can die from sleep deprivation

How hopeless of a Dr's visit was this?
