Headache Update, Day 2

Not because anyone really cares, but mostly because after reading about all the side effects of Topamax, I'm kind of freaking out. And also, my head still hurts. I took two of the Axert yesterday, but it did nothing. I missed the two hour window I was supposed to take the first one in, since I woke up with the headache, but I took the second one an hour and a half later, and I still had a headache when I went to bed. And guess what? I still had it when I woke up this morning. But I can't take anymore within the 24 hour period. So whatever. So far, I'm not too impressed with that.

But I googled the Topamax yesterday, and I got everything from stroke-like symptoms to people wanting to kill themselves to it making people "stupid" and loopy...appendicitis, kidney stones, making birth control less effective, seizures (even though it's an anti-seizure medication), and a ton of other really scary side effects. And if I'm still going to have head aches, I'm pretty sure it's not worth it.

But my CT came back normal, so at least I'm not dying. Yay.
