Topamax Side Effects - Anyone Else Experiencing Long Migraines?

Does anyone take Topamax? Any side effects? I've been on it almost 2 months now and I've had a 31 days long migraine with a pain level of 5, I don't know if it's caused by the medication. Nothing says it causes migraines and I've never had a migraine last this long before, maybe 10 days but never longer than that. I'm just concerned as these migraines make it hard for me to function properly.

I tried Topamax for a few days due to headaches and it gave me a migraine!! It just made my head hurt so much more and I only realized it was the medication once I stopped it. I would try weaning off it and see how you feel.

so should I mention this to my doctor when I see him at my next appointment? My headaches have gone down from a 10 now to a 5-6.7 now so I do see some progress but the month long headache was so long and just worried me 😅
