I do not like to take medicine, but my neurologist said that I needed to get my headaches under control, otherwise I could end up with some sort of chronic pain condition. So I ended up taking Topamax from April through Dec 2012. Started at 25mg and went up to 50mg. It helped with the headaches and I was able to wean off easily. The main side effects I recall are a bit of hair loss (lots of it on my hair brush) and maybe a slight bit of memory fuzziness.
