I have been taking topamax for my migraines....been working wonderfully. Search

the archives for more on it and be sure to ask your doctor.

It's used primarily for seizures but can be used for migraines. I take 75mgs

daily to prevent migraines. I had daily headaches for over a month...doc tried

topamax...headache was gone in a day....slowly came back so we increased the

dosage. Each time the headaches came back we upped it again. I believe max

dosage is 200 mgs so I'm still ok. For me..it's a miracle drug. I have found

that if I miss a day the migraines come roaring back.

Have you tried a chiropractor? If it were me, I would do that before going

to a headache specialist. I have headaches sometimes because my neck is out

of wack. It pinches nerves and makes the muscles on my skull and shoulders

and neck contract. This causes a lot of pain. The only thing that has ever

helped is a visit to a chiropractor. It may take a month or two at first to

get relief, but now I only have to go if I bump my head or sit at the

computer non-stop for a week.

Also, ice on your neck might help, if it is a neck problem.

Good luck.
