I was on Topamax a few years ago, and it worked for me also. Didnt quite take all the pain away, but really made life a bit better. I had to finally go off of it because it was causing my hair to fall out. I guess I could have kept on taking it, but thought if it is doing that, what else is it doing to my body.

I also had problems with my stomach on that med. I found if I ate something mild an hour or so before taking it, the acid reflux wasnt so bad. That along with a prescribed aciphex once a day pretty much kept the stomach calmed down. I did love losing the 40 lbs I needed to lose LOL!!
