I have tried Topamax twice. First, totally naively and under the guidance of a very famous Philly doctor who warned me of nothing and never listened to nothing. It was the nurse who practically saved me from suicide when I had reached 100 mgs and shared my thoughts. Of course, I had all the other side effects, severe weight loss, hair loss, words loss, jitteriness, insomnia.... but I was migraine free!!!!!!
I could never forget that. Nothing ever gave me that freedom after Topamax. So a few years later, with a much nicer neuro, a Pdoc on board, and a plan to titrate very slow, I am hoping I can do it. Any one got results at as little as 50 mgs and for a while? Your side effects please? I do get depressed at as soon as 50mgs but hope I can handle it better than migraine.

I've tried every other prophy, believe me please. I don't want to list them.

Am I taking a stupid step?
