Migraines And The Sleeve?

[MGBforME 3]

Curious -Do all you who take Topamax suffer from memory loss? ( I took it for 2 years, and had terrible memory loss from it.

Couldnt remember my daughters school number.. couldnt remember where I was going when driving...

The neurologist calls it "stupid max." I told him now you tell me!...

Not knocking it guys - just check into it further with your neurologists.. There may be something way better out there for you .. I know I got off it and found much better solution for me.

Zen,

I have never been able to find triggers for my Migraines. But I will certainly find out if my diet affects them. I do take topamax. Funny you should say that, my husband researched them online was calling them dopamax. I have had some memory issues but they have gotten better. I was on it my first round for about a year I came off it for 9 months then decided I needed to give it another try bc the migraines were getting so frequent. It hasn't been as bad this go around.

Thanks for sharing.

Fortunately' date=' I have not experienced a Migraine since I started my preop diet on June 11, surgery was on June 25. (knock on wood, something, do a dance!) YAY!

Makes me think that my diet may have been the culprit in triggering my migraines! I have also been able to discontinue my B/P medicine.

Hopefully you all will experience relief or reduction of Migraines, at least perhaps a reduction in medication.

Best wishes to all.

Topamax made me very moody and irritable.
