Migraine Prevention Meds?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been on Topomax for about 12 years now (only stopped long enough to have my 9yr old and that was brutally painful) but I'm struggling with the worse side-effect...it's messing with my memory.

Does anyone have any recommendations for other preventatives to try?

I've tried a lot of meds and am up to having Botox every three months. Cuts them down to about 5 from the 15 I was having .

Botox, vaporic acid, cymbalta, propranolol, there are many many many others. Vaporic acid is in the same class so it might work better for you.

I had horrible side effects on topomax (to the point it made me black out well I was driving on the highway and crashed. But vaporic acid I can handle (and affects my memory less)

Migraines themselves though affect my memory - whenever I have pain I have a hard time remembering that day and since I have a headache/migraine every day ....
