take better care of myself (read all 10 entries…)
Topamax 2 months ago

I really don’t want to be on this drug anymore. It’s working, as far as preventing migraines go, but it makes me cloudy-brained and not as pleasured by food. Also, I’m so so so so tired. Constantly. I’m used to getting about 5 or 6 hours of sleep a night, and using the extra time to read, and I’m finding it’s quite hard to do this right now. I do not like it.

I’m going to try and wean myself to the lowest possible dosage, and maybe start taking some supplements that prevent migraines. Coenzyme Q10 is supposed to be good.

I like that plan...

When the meds create more problems than they solve, it’s time to change meds.

Sounds like a good plan. I would agree with the things that you have said. I experienced them myself. I also lost about 40 lbs because I had no appetite. Granted I needed to lose weight, but this wasn’t the best way I could have accomplished it.

Good luck to you in tapering off and trying something new.
