Topiramate for Migraine Prevention "It helps with fewer migraines, but I lost a ton of weight. I usually was at 130-135, but with Topamax, I was at 112-115. I never had an appetite."

For Migraine Prevention "I was on Topamax for 15 years. I was on it for migraine prevention, and it did slow down my migraines. I went from 15 to 18 a month to maybe one. It was a miracle drug for me! But as most drugs do, I had side effects of a mild headache daily, no appetite, and after 21 kidney stones, I said no more! I weaned myself off it in about 3 weeks. My headaches returned, and so did my appetite. I have only gained 5 pounds, but I have been surprised at how good food is again. It has been 3 months, and I have tried other medications, but so far haven't found anything that works as well. Hope my post helps others."
