I haven't been on this medication to long but as a severe migraine patient who gets them so bad I throw up profusely should I really be this concerned? I already suffer with anxiety and depression.

I have suffered from migraines since I was a child; this medication was a godsend. Yes, I suffered from a few side-effects like occasional numbs and tingling in my hands and feet, but the migration free days made it all worth it.

TOXIC! Stay away from this medicine! Immediately I had numbness in my hands, feet, and face (one sided). Dizziness, lack of coordination (could not walk down a hall without touching the wall), slurred speech, inability to find my words, crying spells, shooting pains in the bottom of my feet, painful muscles when trying to reach for items on my desk. Docs were testing me for stroke and MS! Ironical ... Show Full Comment

Docs were testing me for stroke and MS! Ironically I still had break through headaches so I stopped taking this med - and Voila! my nightmare ended! All these symptoms went away. Terrible, miserable side effects!!

Chronic pain for 30 years and migraines a few times a week for many reasons. Migraine sufferers understand that anything is worth trying out. This has saved my life! Weight loss is a bonus!
