If migraine,: You might benefit by increasing the topamax, (topiramate) assuming that adverse effects do not compromise your quality of life. There are other preventative meds for migraine, including depakote, and naprosyn, and calcium channel blockers, but also otc preps such as riboflavin, co-q10, butterbur, feverfew. Might even consider botox, or acupuncture.
