Topiramate for migraine

Recently I was started on topiramate for my migraines. Is this drug effective?

Yes it is. Several clinical trials have shown that anticonvulsants drugs like topiramate can help relieve migraines. The drugs are relatively safe. The down side is cost. One other benefit of topiramate is that it may also help you lose weight. Of course, you still need to exercise.
