Topamax experiences
in Health ·
I’ve been taking Topamax to manage some rather debilitating migraine attacks... though, frankly, the medication itself nearly sent me to the emergency room. Shortly after I started the regimen, I ended up hospitalized because the vertigo was so intense I couldn't even maintain my balance. To make matters worse, my blood pressure plummeted to 150 over 50 that day. Instead of addressing the physical crisis, the doctors saw fit to refer me to psychologists and psychiatrists, essentially implying that my symptoms were nothing more than a figment of my imagination. Even while staying on the medication, I suffered another migraine that dragged on for eighteen agonizing hours; I genuinely felt as though I was facing death. But I suppose that is just the hand one is dealt—you simply have to endure it. Aside from the neurological issues, I am perpetually exhausted since starting this treatment, and I generally feel quite unwell. I’ve also lost about ten pounds in the last three months. I absolutely despise this medication.
