Gat a topiramate (generic Topamax) prescription online for migraine prevention.

Topiramate is a prescription medication used to treat seizures. As an anticonvulsant medication, it can be used alone or in conjunction with other drugs to treat seizures that affect the whole body (known as tonic-clonic seizures, formerly grand mal seizures) and seizures that affect only one part of the brain (known as partial-onset seizures).

Seizures are sudden, uncontrolled disturbances in the brain that can cause a range of adverse effects, including muscle stiffness, twitching, or limpness, and abnormal sensations and states of awareness.

While often depicted in media by people suddenly collapsing or convulsing uncontrollably, seizures in actuality take on a variety of different forms that range from brief muscle loss to merely short episodes of confusion. Seizures are rarely life-threatening on their own accord; the loss of consciousness or muscle control that accompanies some seizures, though, can lead to serious injuries or death. Most seizures can be effectively treated with medications like topiramate.

Topiramate is used to treat tonic-clonic seizures - which affect the entire body and can include sudden loss of muscular function. It is also used to treat partial-onset seizures, which only involve a single portion of the brain.

Topiramate can also be prescribed to manage Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a condition in children characterized by severe epilepsy and cognitive disabilities.

In some cases, topiramate can be prescribed to prevent migraines. It is important to note, though, that when it comes to migraines, topiramate is preventative rather than ameliorative.

While there are some common side effects associated with topiramate, it is important to remember that your doctor prescribed this medication because they believe its ability to suppress your seizures outweighs any adverse side effects it may cause.

There are, however, some common side effects you may experience while taking topiramate. According to the National Institutes of Health, these may include:

Numbness, burning, or tingling in the hands or feet Slowed reactions Nervousness Headache Drowsiness Weakness Uncontrollable shaking of a part of the body Uncontrollable eye movements Weight loss Constipation Heartburn Change in your ability to taste food Dry mouth Nosebleed Teary or dry eyes Back, muscle, leg, or bone pain Missed menstrual periods Excessive menstrual bleeding Unusual bleeding or bruising

Contact your doctor if these side effects are severe or do not go away.

Additionally, there are rare but serious side effects associated with topiramate. According to the NIH, these may include:
