New Dr. wants me to consider taking small dose of Depakote for migraines but it says that it can cause weight gain. :rolleyes: Topamax, on the other hand seems to show some signs of weight loss for many on it. :bouncing: Should I ask for Topamax--try the Depekote, or neither??? :eek: Any info or suggestions would be great.

I lost 15 lbs taking Topamax :D.

However, I STRONGLY suggest that you talk to your doctor about AND research the side effect of both drugs. Use GOOGLE.

Thanks Mz. Migraine,
I have been on the net looking at all the anti-seizure drugs that are used for migraines. Not happy with the overall effect of any of them :confused: scary stuff. But, haead hurts enough to consider all my options.

Trivia - did you know the the other experts are saying migraines and depression may also be related? Reason why Zoloft & other anti-depressants are prescribed! :eek:
