Low-Dose Topomax Side Effects for Migraine?
Hi All!
I'm on day 10 of a 30 mg/day Topomax regimen. For the first time, I'm getting relief on my weeks-long migraine spells, which is amazing! But... Constant fatigue, fogginess, confusion about hunger have been really tough.
For you low-dose Topomax users, how much of this went away as your brain adjusted to the meds? How much of this remained throughout your dosage, and if so, what do you do to cope? Hoping this gets better with time, since the beginning of any new med is always a hot mess 😎 thanks in advance!
Hi
,
Great question!! Thank you for reaching out to our community.
You're right, sometimes when we start new medications it can be a "hot mess" - you're not alone. The thing is as our body adjusts to new medications, potential side effects may lessen, which can take up to 90 days at the therapeutic dose.
Fingers crossed things calm down. Will you keep me posted?
Hoping today is a good day,
