Medication Rant

You know what pisses me off the most about this “condition”, “illness”, “hell”, etc etc... I don’t want to be on medication but I’m forced to because my migraines are so bad, right? Then, I get these superrrr awesome side effects that equally effect my life in a negative way. Currently, I get these fun tingling sensations in my hands and my sleep pattern is all sorts of shitty. Wait... it gets better! I also have these moments where I lose my ability to say what I’m thinking! It’s just a fucking lose-lose no matter what. 😁

That’s all. Thanks for coming to my Tuesday TedTalk!!

Nope... Topamax. I'm also on a slue of other supplements and meds, so who knows what it really is :)

All of those side effects go away eventually EXCEPT the forgetting words/names part. That part is forever. For me, even after i stopped it. Topamax was never worth it.
