I Just Began Taking Topamax For My Migraines

A personal story in the experience: I Take Topamax For My Migraines
I 'll try to be short.  Have had migraines for years before having them diagnosed.  Took Imitrex injections, then Zomig tablets 5mg.  Last 3 months have averaged 12 migraines per month, but insurance will only cover 9 Zomig tabs.  Have taken Beta Blockers in past, but they stop working after awhile.  I called my Neurologist and asked if he could prescribe something to prevent migraines and he called in Topamax.  I'd had a headache for 2 days and took my first 25mg tablet last night.  Felt great when I woke up and all day.  Time will tell if I experience any bad side-effects and how many migraines I have.
