Do you mean Topamax? I'm about to start a trial of that medication tomorrow; if that is what you are writing about, I'd like to know what effects, good and bad, that it had. I will be working my way up to 100mg a day over a 4 week period (starting with 25mg tomorrow, etc.). Thanks.

Sorry. I am still looking for that magic med or combination of meds myself. So far I've tried various combinations of

Exercise, Heat, Ice Packs, Water

OTC meds: Tylenol Allergy Sinus, Excedrin, Pseudofed, Tylenol PM, Benadryl, Motrin, Melatonin, etc

Prescription Meds: Naproxyn, Relpax, Indomethacin, Percocet, Demerol, Fioricet, Topamax, Verapamil, Lithium, Depakote, Trileptal, Tegretol, Nortriptyline, Prednisone, Halcion, Sonata, Seroquel, Oxygen, Zomig, Imitrex

What has actually worked: Prednisone (stops working as I taper down), Oxygen, Zomig and Imitrex. Sometimes ice seems to help the O2 work faster. Sometimes a hot shower helps break a shadow.

What's next? Neuro #3, Kudzu and if nothing else - maybe Clusterbusters
