What is an anticonvulsant for migraine prophylaxis that is good about not causing cognitive deficits. on week two tapering off topamax (topiramate) now. ?

Consider: Depakote, which is males, is indeed well tolerated and lacks the cognitive issues of "dope-amax". However, might consider otc preps such as co-q10, feverfew, butterbur, or riboflavin, also.
