No headaches. Works like magic for headaches. I berate myself for having taken Depakote for headaches in the past. Now I have to shed the pounds I gained while on Depakote and Topamax seems to be even more effective than Depakote for headaches. Why did my GP not tell me about Topamax back then?? I requested Depakote because I did not know any better and I was suffering from frequent migraine attacks and needed a relief. Sure, I should have done my homework and didn't, but it still was her job to give me my options. Argh!
