yes we switched my daughter to name brand Topomax and it has gotten better. It is much more expensive but worth it because less side effects. I am finding I don't think generic are the same as name brand. They don't seem to work as well. The price was 60.00 for 30 pills compared to $10 for I think 60 or 90 pills.

Default I agree
If it is not broken do not fix it. If it is working for you, stay with it. Migraines are too hard to get rid of once you get one. I would go back to the name brand. I wouldn't dare switch even for the savings.

Excellent advice.

Since you are weaned on & off Topamax, it would seem to me that you should also be weaned onto the generic form.
