Update on Oh My Head!

Well I tried the new medicine and all I can say is, NEVER EVER IN YOUR LIFE TAKE TOPAMAX! I kid you not, the medicine literally made me crazy, gave me a severe anxiety attack, had me talking nonsense, and sent me into convulsions so bad I had finger nail marks in my hands hours later. I had Chad up and ready to head to the ER in the middle of the night. It was the worst experience of my entire life. Guess we're on to plan B!

Oh my goodness, wow...I'm glad you're not taking it anymore! I can't believe the reaction was that bad! I hope you can figure something else out to help you...

I'm glad you recovered enough to join us for Sunday dinner. We would have missed you! Hope you get this figured out.

That is scary! I took that for a bit when I was younger and I totally understand the anxiety thing, they thought that I was crazy and tried to put me all this other medicine. I figured it out though. I can't believe you had convulsions though. That had to be pretty scary! I am glad you are not taking it anymore. If you need any natural advice on how to get rid of headaches let me know. I have tried the conventional way and the non-conventional is the only thing that ever has worked for me.

Oh no! Tara that sounds awful. I hope you figure something out. Maybe acupuncture/chiropractor? Just something I know other people have said works...
