Topamax vs Toprol

TopamaxTopamax ToprolToprol
Topiramate is used alone or with other medications to prevent and control seizures (epilepsy). Topamax is also used to prevent migraine headaches and decrease how often you get them. Topiramate will not treat a migraine headache once it occurs. If you get a migraine headache, treat it as directed by your doctor (such as by taking pain medication, lying down in a dark room).Toprol is a beta-blocker used to treat chest pain (angina), heart failure, and high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.

I've had migraines since I was a little girl, so basically my whole life. Topamax was a wonder drug for me. I started years ago on 25mg. Over the years they have had to increase it. Just a few weeks ago they have put me on the max of 400mg. After it runs it's course and doesn't help anymore, they will have to try a new medication. A beta-blocker or anti-depressant for migraines. The side effects w ...

It also turned out to help my neck pain more than the narcotics I've trie ...

I take 100mg each day & it does work very well. If I miss a dose I will start to get a headache. It has helped me very much. No side effects.

I have been taking this drug for two plus weeks and my joints and muscles are so painful that I can hardly walk. I am also feeling very tired if I try to do any continuous walking. This medication is not one that I would ever use again.
