Remember — don't make any changes to how you take your medication(s) without consulting your doctor first. If your doctor's instructions for taking Topamax differ from Dr. Silberstein's advice, discuss this information with your doctor. If you're thinking about Topamax for Migraine prevention, this is good information to share with your doctor. Your doctor may appreciate your sharing it as Dr. Silberstein is very well known and respected in the field.

For many people, Topamax is a great preventive medication. It is, however, a very powerful medication. Please take care to take it correctly and safely. If you experience any side effects, especially visual side effects, report these to your physician as soon as possible.
