After having migraines since age 13, I wasn't diagnosed until age 25 and didn't find a med that worked until age 38. I suffered from excrutiating pain, sensitivity to light, sound, I could not be touched and sometimes, I'd vomit 4x per minute. I'm an so very grateful that my Neurologist finally found an Rx that works. #ILOVETOPIRAMATE

Minimal migraines while on this medication which is good. Did cause the taste of sodas to taste more like medal. No loss of appetite which was another reason why I chose to take this medication. No weigh loss is a bummer.

However, after about 3 months I started experiencing tingling and numbing sensations in my face and head. I also experienced a continuous sensation of my head shaking, which is possibly a tremor and insomnia. After 3 weeks of these feelings, I stopped taking the medicine and my doctor switched me to another medication. The side affects were unbearable for me as it starred to affect my quality of life as performance at work.

I am very happy with this medication. I was having severe migraines lasting 5 days with 2-3 good days in between. I rarely have them anymore. I also take meds for depression and that has not been a problem for me at all. I would recommend this medication, but with the precaution of being aware of the possible side effects and staying under a doctor's care.

After two very small doses, I was suicidal, wanted to go buy a gun and blow my head off and I was googling lethal doses of drugs. There is a big suicide warning on this drug info. And it made my legs so weak, I could barely walk, blurred vision. Luckily, it was a blizzard, sub zero temps, a Sunday, and I could barely walk, so I couldn't go anywhere to buy a gun. This drug is a disaster. I ... Show Full Comment

This drug is a disaster. I was on this drug less than 23 hours!
