Over the past few weeks I have been slowly tapering off Topamax. With Topamax you can’t just stop it, you have
to very slowly tapper off of it.
Otherwise you will get sick. You
will have a massive migraine plus you are at risk of more serious side effects
of withdrawing from it.
Once in the past because of an issue with my mail order
medication order I was forced to abruptly stop it and I became very sick, which
is why I no longer use mail order for my meds.
But this time I tapered off of it slowly so I was hopeful I would be
ok. However yesterday it hit me and I am
now in the midst of a massive migraine.
It is very resistant to treatment. I went to urgent care yesterday for a Toradol
shot which did very little. Then came
home and started aggressively treating this migraine but it hasn’t reacted to
any of the medications I have taken and I used the really good, heavy duty
drugs stuff too.
I guess I am going to have to ride this thing out, mostly on
the couch with a blanket pulled over my head.
Thankfully I got some prescription medication for the nausea which has
helped a lot with that. Hopefully this
will pass soon but for now it’s back to the couch.
