I've been increasing the topamax for the past few weeks, and I'm up to 225mg and definitely feeling an improvement. After an 11-day cycle of constant head pain, I have had over a week of little or no pain. Plus, I'm having minimal side effects, just more sleepiness, which I think is being exacerbated by the zyrtec I'm taking (that's not even helping my allergies all that much). At my last neuro visit, we had decided to go up to 300mg, but I think I'm going to hold at 225 for a while and see how that works.
It's only been a week, so I don't want to get too happy just yet. I think my record for being level 2 or below since The Headache is 2 weeks, so if I pass that, it may be time for at least a modest celebration. Hhmmm, it may be time for a a ticker of my own. |

I think you ought to celebrate even it's "only" been a week. You can celebrate again when you make it to 2 weeks. I was tickled last month when I had 4 or 5 days below level 5, and actually had one pain-free day.
I'm so happy for you that you're seeing improvement. Here's to Topamax! Gretchen |

When it comes to celebrating, we get to call the shots. I say iffin you feel like celebrating, be it after a week, a day, or even an hour, you just go on right ahead. But why have a modest celebration when you can have ellyphoont-sized? Celebrating big can really boost the spirits, you know.
 The only rule is we get to celebrate with you! Dragondrool Forum Moderator ~~8=:>>>> |
