I was taking topiramate, it worked for about three years, then I stopped taking it. I had too many side effects, brain fog and memory problems.

Was on it for a few weeks. Caused really bad depression (never been depressed in my life)

And didn't help migraines. Not the drug for me.

I do. It changed my life, I've been on it since c2004. It has reduced the frequency of my migraines, and when I get them, they are now of a shorter duration. I take 150mg daily, but we tapered up. First 50, then 100, then 150. I should note I have basilar artery migraines, which are different from usual migraines.

Candyy,. I use to take topiramate. I could not tolerate them. Some people can. I couldn't sleep, couldn't find my words to express myself well, was loosing my memory, and also made me feel terrible. Never helped my headaches either.
