I have been taking these since I went to see the neurologist 18 months ago iv gone from 50mg twice a day upto 150mg each time my migraines return most recent whilst at work yesterday. Went to the Drs and they have given me sumatriptan nasal sprays and almotriptan tabs the sprays I have had many times I have also had other nasal sprays. Each time medication works but only for a short time then they return I have now been suffering with them for 13 years.

I just started it to help me so I do not get as many migraines and have to take my relpax that cost 10.00 a pill and so far the Topamax helps on a little dose but I find the next day i am to groggy probably with taking my sleep medicine too. The Topamax would help if I did not have to take sleep medicine but the two together does not do it for me.

This has helped with the arm pain. Also, I've lost about 16 lbs in a month, which has been nice!

This worked amazingly!!! I only had to stop taking it because it cost me over 100 dollars even after insurance

Wonderful to augment with Prozac. Although it is not quite taking care of my symptoms of depression as well as I need for it to.

....for the most part, I guess.

This in combo with Abilify seems to be working.
