I suffer from chronic migraines and my neurologist put me on Topamax last August. I am now up to 100 mg a day and I cannot take it anymore. The side effects are too much for me. I feel like an out of control manic. I go from being completely depressed to angry, I cant forcus, I cant remember, it slurs my speech and I sometimes cant form coherent sentences. I have no motivation/drive, I don't want to get out of bed most days and my schooling has suffered immensly. I cry at the drop of a dime. I am down to 110lbs and I look sickly..there are so many other side effects, but these are the ones that are taking the hardest hit on my well-being. At first I was so impressed, but everything started to get worse. I had an appointment this morning and he perscribed Elavil for me. Is anyone taking either of these two medications? And if so, what is your experience with them? Thanks so much..it means a lot to me..
