Topamax - Taking the plunge and related info

As someone else said, Topamax is a powerful medication. It is great if other meds don’t work or for extreme cases. I have a relatively mild case, and I haven’t tried any medications yet. I’d rather not start with a really powerful medication if something else will work.

After reading some of the success stories here, I think I might try “Heal Your Headache” before I resort to medications.

My Dr said I should not take Excedrin because of over medication headache. He failed to mention that caffeine could be a trigger for migraines. He did not discuss diet at all. He did not discuss triggers at all. He did not discuss other medications. Perhaps I need a different doctor.

Thanks for all the info. I’ll continue to follow the stories here, and add mine when I know something.
