Topamax, Fioricet for Migraines

[fireincarnation.livejournal.com]

I need some advice on two new prescriptions, my system is very susceptible to things causing memory loss, we get medication-induced blackouts. We went to see a new doctor who seems legit and nice, one who specialized in chronic pain and headaches. He prescribed Topamax and Fioricet. Has anyone heard of problems with the drug? I heard Topamax causes weight loss.

Um. Excuse me, but that was not a freebie icon up for the taking. Please delete it.

For the record, I didn't get the icon from you or the person I you got it from, I don't rightly remember who I got it from, but it was neither of you two. I'll invite you to go here (http://fireincarnation.livejournal.com/92020.html) and start the war in a place where it's not gonna interfere with this thread.

We take fioricet and phengren for migraines. they work really well for us. the only thing we really need to pay attention to is announcing it to the system upon taking it/upon switching, to ensure that someone doesn't take pills, go inside, only to have the next person take more pills. we've managed to avoid that so far.

Hi there
its J from the J System. We haven't used migraine medication but we sometimes get intense headaches. Just wondered if you've tried asking around inside about whether someone is giving you a headache? I'm in front most of the time and sometimes if I'm not listening to someone inside who is pissed off with what I'm doing or is angry, they will communicate via a headache. If I work out what the conflict is and do something to fix it or change course, the headache can sometimes miraculously disappear.
just a thought.
J

An interesting thought, we'll ask around.
