Default Starting Topamax for headaches

Since my 30 mg of amitriptyline seems to have maxed out its effectiveness at headache prevention, my neurologist is gradually moving me over to Topamax instead. I'm tapering off the elavil while I taper up the Topamax.

Anybody tried this med? Better, worse, about the same compared to amitriptyline?

He seemed optimistic about it since the Imitrex seems to help arrest the headaches when they are coming on.
