Q: Can You Take Topomax And Breastfeed?

I am new to this forum and new to looking for information on topomax. I have suffered from migraines since I was 5 years old, now almost 37 years old. I experience frequent migraines, but for the past many years have suffered from daily headaches, that can either turn into a full blown migraine, or just remain at a level that i've learned to function with. Usually the headaches last for days in a row. I can go to bed with one and wake up with one. I just take excedrine migraine and it seems to help. Tylenal and ibuprofin don't work for me anymore. But, it is getting to the point that I can't take it anymore, the constant headache pain that is. I was reading some of the posts from people that say how much topomax has helped them in their daily lives. One of my questions is, can I take it while breastfeeding? My daughter is 21 months old and is just not ready to wean, although I was ready a looong time ago!!! I also just started taking zoloft about a month ago. Is topomax an option for me???Thanks for your help in advance...Regina
