tried anti epileptic with bad side effects
hi.
I'm fed up.
Found a med that made the migraines go, Yay!
Then I got water retention really really bad and had to stop. Not even water tablets could get rid of it, even my face puffed up.
So now I'm taking nothing while I wait for neuro opinion.
I don't know where to go from here at all.

Yeah that can happen...it sucks. Keep trying! It is likely you will eventually find something tolerable that helps, but its often that it may stop working after awhile, so then you have to try again. Takes a lot of patience. The anti seizure meds can be particularly tough on side effects, but can also be quite helpful for some people. Best wishes.

Thanks kate and migrainegirl
The meds are Zonissamide. I've written a letter to neurologist so something will hopefully happen. Really frustrated because am trying to return to work but don't look that much of a convincing candidate at the moment.
