Topamax mg raised

[woodhaven]

Hi...I have been on Topamax for 2 1/2 years and it doesnt seem to be working anymore.  I went to a neurologist and he raised my dose from 100 mg to 125 mg about 3 wks ago.  The headaches are still there...everyday, some stronger than others, but EVERYDAY.  I also take 450mg wellbutrin.  I dont know if I should call the Dr and ask him if I should start taking 150mg or does anyone think its too early to say (3 wks)  I take relpax when they get real bad and that works great, but 4 hrs later...BAM, the pain!!!!  So, question is should I call the Dr and suggest or wait until I see him on Feb 21!!!...THANX!

Just wondering if you lost alot of weight being on both Topamax and Wellbutrin?

My neurologists also put me on Topamax and it didn't help me.  I am now on Axert and it seems to help.  (I also have started Botox treatment that seem to helping a lot)

Hi,

It would be best to call your doctor and discuss your case with him/ her. This is because the headaches are coming at very frequent intervals even with the medications you are taking.

Ask him/her if you could get an earlier appointment and let the doctor know about your current status.

Keep us posted on how you are doing.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
