New Dr. wants me to consider taking small dose of Depakote for migraines but it says that it can cause weight gain. Topamax, on the other hand seems to show some signs of weight loss for many on it. Should I ask for Topamax--try the Depekote, or neither??? Any info or suggestions would be great.
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 scary stuff. But, haead hurts enough to consider all my options.
Trivia - Did you know that they (the experts) are saying migraines and epilepsy may be related neurological disorders.
MagnaV45 my Neuro told me migraines are like fingerprints. No 2 people suffer from them nor have the have "exact" same symptoms as someone else w/the same type of migrane.

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!
