I have only been on this medication for 5 days so far, but I have Chronic Migraine, and so far, I have only had one day where I felt a migraine coming on, I used my abortives and boom it was gone. This is not typical for me, as I usually walk around with a background headache all the time. My first 5 day impression is good.

This is not typical for me, as I usually walk around with a background headache all the time. My first 5 day impression is good. No side effects so far especially compared to regular Topamax which was hard on me cognitively. I will report back if anything changes but I am super excited about this med so far!

I suffer from Migraines; Hemiplegic. I had to come back and update my review of this drug. When I was seen by my physician, none of the side affects I complained of were still evident! I have to admit Trokendi XR has been a "game changer" for me! I never, ever thought I could live with only one migraine a month. Next month I am hopeful for ZERO!!!

I have to admit Trokendi XR has been a "game changer" for me! I never, ever thought I could live with only one migraine a month. Next month I am hopeful for ZERO!!! Plus, I no longer function like a zombie. My doctor suggested the dry eyes were due to allergies...howerver, I have not had a problem since I have been on the new dosage of Trokendi XR. I am so thankful!

I am so greatful to have been given the samples of Trokendi XR from my physician. I had been taking topamax since 2006, 25mg BID- I would frequently miss my pm dose and experience breakthrough migraines a few times a month. I never complained to my physician bc I didn't know there was any other alternative and I was more controlled than I was without medication. I now take 50mg of trokendi ... Show Full Comment

I never complained to my physician bc I didn't know there was any other alternative and I was more controlled than I was without medication. I now take 50mg of trokendi XR in the morning and leave the house for yoga. No more tingling or dizziness and I have not had a migraine since switching. Ask your doctor about Trokendi XR. I have NJ Medicaid and pay the same as I did for generic topamax!

Week 1; weight gain, fluid retention, blood pressure increase. Week 2; dry eyes, pressure behind the eyes, fatique, joint pain,leg pain, muscle weakness. Week 3; Migraine break thru - had a fall. I'm going back to Tomamax for now. Ease of use is wonderful. It DID get rid of the Dopey effect! The idea of an extended release Topamax is great, but the side affects chased me away. Perhaps we can tweaked it later. My Migraines are special.

I started taking Trokendi 2 months ago after trying most migraine preventives including topamax generic and brand.

I started taking Trokendi 2 months ago after trying most migraine preventives including topamax generic and brand. I am very pleased with Trokendi and have been able to stay migraine free with a dose of only 25mg per day which is the starting dose. I tried to taper up once upon urging of my physician but the side effects kicked in and I went back to the tiny dose which is effective for me for keeping the 3x a week migraines at bay. Even at the small dose, the first few weeks were an adjustment but got through them. I am very pleased.
