Preventative A

I took Topamax for a couple of years until it just stopped working. Now I am on Emgality as a preventative & Nurtec as rescue med. The combination for me & taken me from daily migraines to 1 or 2 a month. Just MY experience not saying it works for everyone . Triggers: weather, not enough or too much sleep, not enough or too much caffeine, emotional upsets & hormones.

I have been taking it since 2009. I had stopped taking it for 2 weeks because my migraines were a lot less. Omg, I started having seizures after seizures and the migraines right after. I couldn't remember what had happened and the brain fog with suicidal thoughts was awful. I honestly didn't know what was happening with me. I was taken to the Urgent Care and the doctor explained that my body was going into shock "Withdrawals" from the Topomax. I had to get back on it immediately. The memory loss and now I have dental decay and bone loss in my jaw. My dentist also explained that those are the side effects of Topomax. I'm not the only victim who's having these awful and embarrassing issues. I have to take 3 pills 3xs a day.
