It does take many weeks to adjust to it. That's why they start you out on a low dose and move you up over several weeks. I took it for migraine prevention and it changed my taste of everything. I hated it but it is good for migraine prevention and anti-seizures pain etc. I finally adjusted to it, I felt like you at first. I just hate all medication but sometimes you don't have an option.
I don't have any trouble with migraines. He gave it to me to relax the nervous system. And damn did it! His theory is that the L5-S1 disc is putting pressure on the bundle of nerves near it, thus causing them to tense. I asked the pharmacist about it and he said they are finding that a lot of the migraine medications are being found to be helpful with nervous system issues as well. I feel like a zombie, though.
lost , i would give it more time start taking it only at night at half the dose .it did the same to me when i first started it ,the side effects tend to go away ...it worked great to get rid of my migraines
I thought Topamax was for headache prevention? Hmm.. Have you tried Lyrica? neurotin? Or streoid injections?? the injections have helped me alot.
Sorry you are in pain...
