I have been on Topomax for years. Two pills in the am, and two in the pm. I still get my share of migraines, but I have a complicated medical history. I take fioricet for my migraines and I can control the pain with that. My migraines started when I was 17, and I always knew they were starting because I had an aura at the onset. After I had three different subdural hematomas, a stroke, and burrhole surgery to relieve the pressure and blood in my head, my headaches changed. The auras disappeared however the headaches were more frequent. Over the course of all these years I know I have tried so many different meds and Topomax is the only one that seemed to help a bit. I have been limited from trying certain drugs on the market such as Imitrex due to a heart condition. My triggers are stress and weather patterns. I sympathize with all my fellow migraine sufferers.
