Title: Topiramate-works the best(attacks are gone)
Post by Kel Green on Mar 24^th, 2007, 9:16pm

Anyone try this? I have and works great. I have not had an attack for over a month and a half. I don't take anyother drugs other than that. Imitrex (shots) are sitting on hold.(no use for them). Feels great! You should all ask your doctor's about this. hope it works for you all as well.

Congrats on finding something that works !

Better ask your doc of your chances of getting kidney stones. I'd drink plenty of water and/or lemonade with real lemon juice

Goodluck

I tried this last thursday and thought I found my magic bullet but yesterday during my taper up I started to get severe pressure in my head that wouldn't go away. I should be winding down since I'm entering my 6th week instead they were gearing back up. I'm backing off of this starting today and will see if this was the cause of the new type of H/A's. If it wasn't and for what ever reason after 26 yrs my clusters decided to change I guess I will just hang myself.
