I am currently on 150 mg Topamax daily. I have severe muscle a joint pain for 10 days before my menstuel cycle not to mention the horrible headaches plus the hormonal migraine. I am on this med to prevent migraines in the first place. The severity is lessesned but frequency of them are not. I have been it for almost two years. Relpax is a lifesaver. Topamax is messing with my vision. I can't stand solar lights, fireworks , streetlight, and I don't drive at night anymore. I also think it makes me a bit moody. I am thinking of switching to Zonegran. Has anyone had any luck with that and have you had any eye troubles with it? I can't take the pain anymore on this med I have to switch to something. Sure wish there was a cure for migraines.View Thread
I will have to check into a Butrans patch. My Gyno put me on BC pills and it made it awful. Intensified the migraines. Plus you shouldn't be on BC pills if you get migraine with aura which is my case. So I have to be careful on what I do. I heard of the mini pill but do not want weight gain. Thank you for your input you opened my eyes to other options.View Thread
