Full Question:My sister has really bad migraines. She’s had them since she was 4-years-old; now she’s 18. Her doctor has her on Topamax for headaches, which causes her to be really angry. They also have her on Prozac for being angry all the time. Prozac has caused her to gain weight, but yet she still has very bad migraines. What should she do, and is their any other kind of meds she could take instead of these?
