Comparing Topiramate

For Migraine Prevention I have been on Topiramate for over 4 years for migraine prevention, and in the very beginning was great. Went from 20+ migraines a month on a 50 mg dose to less than 5 with very few side effects (coke tasted bad, I drank water) no big deal. Now I’m up to 300mg a day and since then I’ve had kidney stones, major tingling in hands/feet, severe back pain, dry eyes, and migraines at least 4 days a week on top of other side effects. I don’t know what to do. I’m hoping it’s just the medicine doing this.

For Migraine Prevention This med was VERY HELPFUL at keeping my migraines away. In 4 weeks, only had 2 breakthrough migraines, excellent for me. BUT, my eye dr told me I had to quit taking it because one of the side effect that resembles glaucoma. A healthy iris is suppose to be 45 degrees of color (for a lack of better explanation), mine is only 5 degrees. Have to quit cold turkey and do a follow up appointment. If it is not attempting to go back to normal, I have to go to a specialist whom will use a laser to open it back up. Of course, the only thing I've found so far to help would also harm me....
