Headaches..
Blargh blargh blargh.
So I started the Topamax in November. I didn't get the loss of appetite side effect. I did get the "turn into a drooling idiot" side effect. Fortunately, it passed once I got used to the meds.
I've had three "migraines" since then, and a couple of just plain ol' nasty headahces. The Maxalt my neurologist gave me for onset headaches seems to work. All three headaches came on exactly as the ones in November did, starting around 4 PM, full blown by 5:30. Unfortunately, they seem to be coming on more easily or frequently, since two of the three have been in the past couple of weeks. And I seem to just generally have a dull headache.
Blah.
Follow up appointment with the neuro is Tuesday morning. I don't know what to expect out of this appointment.
