Taking this for migraines, not for bipolar. But if its helping, so much the better. SIDE EFFECT - makes all soda taste flat. (i.e. club soda tastes like flat tonic water)

It did help but had some side effects, I have some dizziness and fatigue.

For me at best, this drug cuts migraines from 20 - 25 a month to 4 - 7 month. It does not help with primary stabbing headaches, which I have approximately 20 times a month. I have tingling in my hands with Topirimate, but it is trivial.

slowed frequency of migraines
