I see Depakote just went on generic. I see it is also for depression and manic depression. I also suffer from depression. I am on topamax, 200 mg a day. My migraines are coming back again quite frequently and am afraid to tell my neurologist because I dont want to let him raise it again. I don't like the side effects of the drug. I am getting alot of neuralgia in my feet from it.  Also a lot of memory loss. Is there a drug (like depakote) that he can ADD to topamax, instead of taking me OFF topamax? I hate to quit taking it, or having to wean off one to take something else for fear I'll end up in the hospital. I often get the migraines in the back of my skull and they are so painful they are excruciating. He's run me through every test imaginable.
