However, I have not had any success using it for the basilar migraines. If you do start having basal artery migraines, please be careful as I have mini-strokes with these. 4 years ago, I had a stroke that caused dementia and eye clots. It runs in the family. My daughter is 11 and has already started having the migraines. They can be very scary at times but it is good to be prepared. You may want to research the type of migraines you are having. <BR/><BR/>Please let me know how you make out using the Topamax and Ciplarex. I will bring up these medications with my doctor also. <BR/><BR/>Best wishes -CNSKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146655248766399096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4717101951772578912.post-83657947177609343392008-05-06T09:40:00.000-04:002008-05-06T09:40:00.000-04:00Thanks for the comments Anonymous.
