Hey Carrie

I tried that med when I was first diagnosed - I had trouble sleeping when I took it and it didn't do anything for my pain. But maybe it will help you since we are all different.

I currently use Ambien CR 12.5 at night and take Topamax 75 mg twice a day. I also just started on 5mg of methodone 3 times a day, so I'm not sure how it works just yet.

do you know whether you can tolerate Topamax? Since I started taking it none of my headaches have advanced to that "migraine" state. And the Ambien does help me stay asleep for a few hours at a time most nights.

Sorry about your head. That's my main problem also. I hate it. Good luck.
