>>>Hi Mary, is the Topamax helping your migraines? I am on 400 mg of Topomax a
day & still have the migraines & seizures but I'm also on 3 other seizure
drugs. Lamictal is being reduced slowly this month since I had the VNS . I'm
glad
it helps you.

Hello!
My name is Michele Manko and I am new to the group. I have been having
seizures since I was 9 months old, stopped at 12 and started again at 37 * I am
40 now*
I also had the migraines since I could remember. After the age of 12 and the
seizures stopped, the migraines were only very occasional. Now I get 1-3 a
month. I have been on have been on dilantin and my neurologist just prescribed
topomax. I have two babies 3 and 18 months and I am still nursing so I am
curious about side effects and how it has affected others.
