Back in May I ended up in the ER with all the symptoms of a stroke. To make a long story short - the CT scan showed nothing and the ER doctor told me it was just a bad migraine.
My doctor insisted I see a neurologist - since she was not comfortable with the ER findings. After a simple MRI and MRA – a small aneurysm was found. The aneurysm is being monitored and I have to see my neurologist every 2- 3 months. Today I ended up in his office – because of my headaches increasingly getting worse. He gave me Maxalt- MLT 10mg and Topamax 25mg – I guess I am just wondering if there is anyone out there suffering from headaches from an un ruptured aneurysm that is taking Topamax. I will start out with 25mg a day for one week then increase it to 50mg a day until my next visit in 4 weeks.
