Need some advice please Thankyou
Hi everyone im new here and want your advice for the med Topamax what im starting tonite. I have suffered with Lab for 2 years then it turn into MAV march this yr. I suffer now with bad headaches and a bit off dizziness, so much better what i was mths a go. Im about 90% better but i need help with the rest. I have tried so many meds its unbieveable but the side affects were terrible and i have to carry on working for the NHS and being a single parent. Im only taking supplements at the moment which have helped a bit with my headaches, but i need more now. I have been under ENT AND NEAURO and both signed me off as usual, back to see my gp with meds they prescribed. Had a ct scan and physio in the 2 and a half yrs. Im really scared taking this med, but i know its one off the best ones out there. Please i need some advice on this med, the do’s and dont’s. Thankyou for listening. Michelle xxx

Thankyou how do i search for JamieH !
hi
there are a couple of ways you could try to get the info on Topamax
- send jamieh a ‘pm’ (private message) to ask him about his experience/success with topamax, I’m sure he’d be only too happy to help
or - put his name in the search box (r/h top) & then open & scroll through the posts that show up.
Good luck
