has anyone gotten headaches while taking topamax??

Answer:
No, I haven't gotten any from taking it. I take 75 -100 mg every night before bed to help prevent migraines the NEXT day. If I get a headache the next day I have Relpax which, IMO, is a wonder drug - I have never taken anything better than that - besides aspirin (unfortunately aspirin burned a hole in my deodenum and I almost died!).Have your doctor give you script for Relpax (they will only give you about 6 - 10 pills /month), and if you get a headache - whish - it's gone!

If you're taking Topamax for migraines, then yes you can still get migraines on Topamax. The purpose of taking it is to reduce the frequency and severity. That is by no means a guarantee that you won't get one during treatment.It reduced mine significantly, but I also can't feel my fingers or toes, food tastes freaky, and I feel like the village idiot for a few hours after taking it. I stopped taking it because the side effects were more annoying than the migraines. But while I was taking it, they were reduced, but not ocmpletely cured.
