Have been taking Topamax for about 5 years for migraines. At one point I was up to 300 mg/day but am now down to 200 mg/day. This medication has been challenging at times. I have experienced all the typical side effects to varying degrees. The most challenging side effect for me is the speech aphasia that I experience. It can be extremely embarrassing in a business setting (or even among friends for that matter) to have words just not "come out". You know the words are there,... View full comment

It is ridiculous how Drs tell you to take half the drug at night, so you will be trying to sleep while the drug is not trying to keep you alert and active.

I kid you not, this is a wonderful softgel. I am so excited and extremely overjoyed that both my big toes are absolutely PAIN FREE. I broke these toes years ago and they have caused me total discomfort, sometimes causing me to cry in anguish. I have been reading about several herbs. I came across Zyflamend from Vitacost, decided to give them a try and haven't been without them since. I have used one bottle starting 2 a day, and limiting them to 1 per day and as needed. A blessing from t... View full comment
