I have suffered with headaches/migraines all my life from when I was a small child - I cannot believe since starting the Topamax I really have no headaches and certainly never any mirgraines at all. Such a relief, this stuff has some excellent benefits for healthy side effects...I actually find as well that i now eat healthier food,. because my appitite has decreased, now I mostly just want to eat 'good food' when I do eat, I really do feel alot better for that too.
And its the main the drug which keeps my mood in shape in terms of manic depression ~ thats pretty healthy too! :-)
Kind regards
Nick
Ps Dinah..kidney stones are awful, but I wonder whether it would be benefitial to at least ry the Topomax and see how it goes, you may find that with a low dose and drinking more water, you'll avoid them altogether?...If you did get them then at least you know for sure you couldnt take the topamax. I took lamictal before too and hated it :-(
