Do the right meds feel ok straight away?

The general consensus seems to be that the right meds do feel ok straight away with Topamax being the main exception.

That could be true. Nothing other than Topamax helped my symptoms, so it is the only one I have experience with.

I think there are are other things to take into consideration here. When I started taking Dothep it felt ‘right’ almost straight away and really knocked my awful headaches out when I got to the therapeutic dose but it didn’t help with my balance and visual vertigo problems. I tried Periactin (which didn’t help) then Topamax which has been really difficult to tolerate but has helped tremendously with the balance and visual vertigo so I am taking now both meds.

So it seems there is no simple answer to finding what med might be best for us even if we tolerate it - it may not knock out all our symptoms and we’d still need to either change meds or add another!
