I don't like pills, and I've been given a prescription for this and may lose my driving license if it doesn't show up in my blood!. My neurologist never really explained what it was for and I'm really am affraid of taking it because it has to be a life time ordeal!. Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Topamax is used for severe migraine headaches or seizures!. Like with all medication you have to weigh the benefit vs!. risk with your doctor!. Each medication reacts differently with each person!. Unfortunately, these drug regimes can be life long, but if it helps, how will the quality of your life improve!? Best of luck, Mixtli!

I have to add this!.!.!.You pay the doctor, not the other way around! If he or she can't explain how and why this drug works, find another neurologist! Repeat after me "Doctors are necessary, but they are not God!"Www@Answer-Health@Com

its mainly used for epilepsy or intense migranes, it works by affecting chemicals in the brain that are involved in sending signals to the nerves!. it is very commonly used and they work well in adults and children!. it does have side effects, but most common ones are not strong and usually disapear once your body becomes used to thm in your system!. the one thing i would say though, is that if you do take thm and want to stop, you should wean yourself off thm, do not just stop taking thm as this can have some nasty effects as your body will be used to having it to help it work properly!.also, whilst taking make sure you drink well!.

I was prescribed Topamax for temporal lobe seizures!. It worked well for that, but I have since quit taking it and started taking Klonopin instead!. Don't be afraid to take pills that you actually need!. If you had a seizure, you must treat it for your safety and that of others when you are driving!. It did help me with that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
