I'm on 50 mg on topiramate a day and just started on 75mg pregabalin twice a day for severe anxiety.
Question is my headache/migraine build up every day for about a week. The topiramate doesn't seem to help with them. I've been on it about 6 weeks. I'm reluctant to increase the dose for side effects but I've read 50-100mg is migraine preventing dose. It does help with preventing migraine at other times of the month.
How do other women manage their migraines around this this time? I take mefenamic acid 500mg three times a day for PMS physical symptoms and that doesn't shift either. Sumatriptan doesn't help that's why my GP tried topiramate.
Please any advice, help much appreciated π

Look up Butterburr. It's been really helpful for my adult daughters and mine menstruel migraines. I like migra-ease and my daughter likes migravent. Both on Amazon.
I took topomax for awhile. No, I agree, it doesn't help that much with the hormonal ones. I also found my memory was shot at the higher therapeutic dose, so I stopped.
I've found butterburr is just as good and better for menstruel then topomax ever was.
