head update update

[cindylouwho]

Well unfortunately the Topamax experiment is over. Actually it is rather fortunate since for the past week and some days I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO A DAMN THING! I have not been able to think clearly. I don't remember most of this week actually. Most of it went by in a fog. I actually went to bed at 5:30 pm last night I was so tired and out of it. I was hopeful that it would work, b/c it was actually alleviating my headaches. (or I was so out of it I didn't know my head hurt) So Monday I will be calling the neuro and letting him know I'd rather be in pain without meds than live my life in a fog. I was observed at work on Tuesday and I don't even remember it at all now.

Seriously. Can't. Remember.

Did your heart race with the Topamax?

What I find stupid is those OTC migraine medications are just analgesics with caffeine added.

No, I just couldn't think straight. I felt like my head was filled with cotton balls and I was moving through a fog.

get a note from your neuro stating that you are under treatment. in case you need it later.

My boss knows this, I just didn't even realize what was causing it until a day or so after. I thought I had a sinus infection or something idk mono and THEN I realized OMG moron it's the new med.

get the note anyway. it pays to be sure - in case one of her higherups wants some kind of proof or something. if you don't need it then you don't need it.

I agree with phinnia You never know, it's best to be prepared.
