Hi, I just started taking topamax today. I get really bad headches and tehy think they might be migranes. My siutation is complex though :roll: because I have a shunt. They started me on a very low dose.... 25mg once a day. I was reading about the side affects .......They sound pretty intense. Can anyone relate to this? ..... I just hoope this helps get my headches in check. :o
