I have never heard of this medication. I have to research it. Did it work for you? I've tried Topamax & it worked for a short period of time, but wasn't effective anymore which has been the case for me for most "migraine" medications. I think with a lot of these medications, sometimes, the actual issue outweighs these side effects. That's been an issue for me as well. I don't like these side effects. They have me worst off than the actual headache & I end up in the ER because I'm severely ill. Please let me know how that medication worked out for you.

I had the same zombie-like reaction from topamax so I'm very interested in hearing how the time released version works for you.

I hope you get some relief.

HI,
I have been on Trokendi for about 9 months and I do not have the same "dopamax" feelings as I had when I was on Topamax.
I was very leery going on Trokendi because I didn't want to spend all of my time trying to recall names, information, etc.. just to function on a daily basis, but that is not the case at all.
Now, initially I was very pleased with my course of treatment with it being a part of my migraine treatment plan, but am really starting to struggle again with migraines, but that could be due to 2 other non-related medical conditions.
But overall, I would encourage one to give it a try!
:)
