James, I read all this stuff about 3 weeks ago so I stopped taking them for pain. The Dr asked me why... He said if I have problems stop, otherwise try. So I'm on em again. No side affects, been a week at my dosage 400 mg twice. Haven't had my typical headaches BUT, they ease off sometimes so I don't know yet.
But heres a story. About 5 yrs ago I started getting cluster headaches, they call them suicide headaches for a reason and they hit about the same time everyday, I was getting 3 a day. Dr put me on topomax at max dose, tons of side affects, the pros, my headaches faded in a day or two, gone and I lost a lot of weight! The cons... they call it the stupid pill, wow, couldn't remember my phone number, my wife had to literally take care of me, couldn't drive, and the sweats, OMG, 2-3 times a day for no reason sweat literally pouring down my face, I'd be drenched. But, those horrid headaches were gone. Lasted about 6 weeeks then they weaned me off to see if the headaches would return. Try it, if it works, YAY!!!
