    #1. are you currently on topomax and how long have you taken it? (if you have taken it in the past, please skip to #2)

    #2. have you previously taken topomax, and how long did you take it?

    #3. If you experienced any side effects, please note them here, and note at which doseage did you FIRST start noticing the side effects happpening.

    #4. Which side effect (you do not have to choose one) made you (if any) decide to stop taking the medication.

    #5. What was YOUR prescribed reason for taking Topomax?

    Anything you would like to add? Please do so here:

    #2- I toook it for about a week.

    #3 - right away- mild eye pain, out-of-focus vision, numbness in face and hands. I forget the dose, but it was the 'smallest for migraines'.
    -- and it did nothing for my migraines, I still had a bad migraine most the week.

    #4- the eye/vision stuff. My doctor warned me of glaucoma, and with the eird eye pressure/pain and blurred vision, I stopped taking them.

    #5 - Chronic Migraines
