i know this is very OT, but i wanted to see if anyone would answer.

has anyone used this medication for themselves? it is an anticonvulsant, but also prescribed as a daily preventative for migraines. i have been on it for almost 3 weeks now. i am wondering if you have been on it, what side effects have/had you noticed?

thanks,valerie

Val,

Sorry no experience here. There is a migranes and headaches board here on iVillage, and I think some of the ladies there take topamax.

I know it is a common med used for bipolar patients too.
