Topamax
® is a medication that is prescribed for the treatment of
epilepsy and the prevention of
migraine headaches. Although it is not known exactly how the medication works, it is believed to slow down electrical signals (to help with
seizures) and calm nerve cells in the brain (to prevent
migraines).
Topamax, which is generally taken twice a day, is available in two forms: tablets and "sprinkle" capsules. Possible side effects include fatigue, nervousness, drowsiness, and weight loss. This medication is not suitable for everyone. For example, people with
glaucoma, kidney disease, or certain
allergies may not be able to take the drug.
