Hi I was also on this med, the generic of TOPAMAX...and yes it will cause those side effects for the first 2 weeks until her body adjusts...I also went to my Dr with concerns but said this is the effects they want as this med changes the morphology of the headache .....and I continued with it and deff saw a huge improvement.....
If she finds she needs something more then the naproxen....then deff give it a try when she has vacation time off from school..
Good luck to u both.
Thanks for your reply. We ended up stopping the topiramate. The side effects were not at all worth any benefit she may have gotten. She is also taking naproxen. Praying that will keep them away!
I was started on that about a year ago for my Migrains..
It only made them worse, if u read on thst its used for Seizures...
That may be y she feels like that..
I now take Naproxen, they work...
I've had these head aches since I was about 6yrs old.
My mother, brother, aunt, grandmother, n myself get them... I fear my 3yr old is getting them now..
She complains of head aches n squins her eyes n cries to pick up her head.
